Robert Bernecky: >|> Yes. It gets worse: J doesn't allow you to change a single >|> element of an array without respecifying the entire array. Ahoy, there lad! You is confusing the semantics of the operation with its implementation on a real system ... Yes. Er, no. I was speaking of semantics. "Respecifying" doesn't mean re-calculating -- or at least it doesn't mean that to me. ... NO APL system I have EVER used would perform merge-like operations except in place, when reference counts permit. For most operations, the indexed assignment (whether performed with indexed assign or a detected merge) IS done in place. Yes. -- Raul Deluth Miller-Rockwell <rockwell@socrates.umd.edu>
