Line 13: :: Yeah, you're right. I guess I didn't look at enough examples. --[[User:Mwn3d\|Mwn3d]] 08:53, 10 December 2007 (MST) :Definitely not esoteric, though very hard to read unless you have learned the vocabulary and tacit programming idioms. I would encourage folks to annotate the examples here and also contribute well annotated examples to the Literate Programs wiki (see [[Help:Similar Sites]]). --[[User:IanOsgood\|IanOsgood]] 13:11, 10 December 2007 (MST) ::: I was curious about that quoted line and so I went and looked it up -- it actually would not work in current versions of J (because <code>x.</code> was replaced with <code>x</code> in 1996 when ~~the current~~J version ~~of J~~6 was released), - unless backwards compatibility is enabled, you should use <code>x</code> instead of <code>x.</code> to ~~It's~~refer to the left argument. (That line of code was also incommented aout, ~~comment~~on the [http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Phrases/Arith source page].) That said, the code inthis ~~question~~was extracted from would take a string like '1.25' or '1.25(25)' and return an exact fraction (5 divided by 4 for the first example and 124 divided by 99 for the second - treating the part in parenthesis as repeating infinitely). In this context, <code>x.</code> was the numeric base for the conversion (10 by default) and p was the number extracted from the parenthesis, and the above line of code would have dealt with the repeating fraction part of the number. It would have calculated nothing meaningful for '1.25' and for '1.25(25)' its value would have been 25 divided by 99. --[[User:Rdm\|Rdm]] 16:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC) == Jedi (was Jers) == Line 47: --[[User:Tikkanz\|Tikkanz]] 00:07, 10 November 2009 (UTC) The template has now been tested and emailed to [[~~ShortCircuit~~User:Short Circuit]]. Hopefully in the near future there will be basic syntax highlighting for J on Rosetta Code. However there are quite a lot of J entries that either don't yet use the <tt>lang</tt> tags, or incorrectly use an uppercase rather than a lowercase J. I've made a start checking through the current J tasks updating the syntax where needed, if you check any please note them below so we can coordinate our efforts. The correct syntax for the <tt>lang</tt> tags is:<br> <tt><nowiki><lang j></nowiki> one or more lines of code here <nowiki></lang></nowiki></tt> Line 56: You may want to reconsider doing this, since at the moment I'm working on a bot to correct lang tags for nearly every task and nearly every language (including J) on Rosetta Code. It won't be perfect, but it should get the majority of cases right. —[[User:Underscore\|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore\|Talk]]) 11:48, 14 November 2009 (UTC) :Will it add tags where they don't ~~alreadey~~already exist, or just fix existing ones?--[[Special:Contributions/203.114.138.159\|203.114.138.159]] 18:38, 14 November 2009 (UTC) ::The former. It's gotten rather smart. More details to follow soonish (probably before Monday, if not today). —[[User:Underscore\|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore\|Talk]]) 19:16, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
