Re: [Jprogramming] complex x in Copy

Hmm.. well... Copy (with a single preceeding 0 added to the right arg) should work for that, with a fixed left argument. But note that the approach I suggested could also be made to work with a fixed sized argument. For example: (,a) 6 7 8 11 12 13} 20#0 (Or you could expand 20#0...). Thank

Raul, My current need was to understand Copy because I had a unique situation where the size of a was fixed size. Your comments would help more if a was variable size. On Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 11:51 AM Raul Miller wrote: > (Just catching up on the weekend's email now...) > > I am going to ignore

(Just catching up on the weekend's email now...) I am going to ignore the =. here (in `b =. ,a`), because that makes most of the rest of this make sense... It seems to me that ,(0,.~0,.0,~0,])a is going to be as concise as you can get, unless J gets a "padding primitive". That said, if a is larg

Brian, Yes of course, only the first filler is needed. There is a bit of further simplification available as the ] can be replaced by the , that had already been applied to 'a'. 0j6 1 1 1j2 1 1 1j6 (#0,,) a 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 11 12 0 0 13 14 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 > On Apr 27, 2019, at 9:29 AM, Brian

Bob and Louis, Your ideas are very helpful, too. We seem to need to work around the need for starting with the fill atom. Building on them and my own, another is this. 0j6 1 1 1j2 1 1 1j6 (#0,]) ,a 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 11 12 0 0 13 14 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 Thanks to all, -- (B=)

Brian, If you set are on using Copy, then I think that clearest path forward is in adjusting 'a' a little by adding filler to receive the ajb arguments. ]a =: 10+i. 2 3 10 11 12 13 14 15 1 ,. a 1 10 11 12 1 13 14 15 , 1,.a 1 10 11 12 1 13 14 15 ,&1 , 1 ,. a 1 10 11 12 1 13 14 15 1

Devon, your result looses the middle zero's, but may be the only way to go. I'll have to play more with your idea, or find another solution Louis, That helps a little, but I want my result to start with 6 zeros. So I want x#10 11 12 to produce 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 11 12 . But instead I can only get re

Hi, From the dictionary page on # : The complex left argument a j. b copies a items followed by b fills. Also from the dictionary, we get that #’s rank is _ 1 _, so we can suppose the left argument is a vector. In that case each atom of the left argument must match an item of the right (scalar
