Category talk:J: Difference between revisions

::: 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 version of J was released), unless backwards compatibility is enabled. It's also in a comment. That said, the code in question 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). In this context, x. 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)

 

 

The "Jers" section could be maintained by the site if all the users would sign up and put a <nowiki>{{mylang|J|proficiency}} row in a {{mylangbegin}}...{{mylangend}}</nowiki> table. The users would show up in [[:Category:J User]] which is already on the language page. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 13:17, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

:: Yes, but I'm not sure some of the Jers perceive themselves to be involved enough in RC to sign up. Also, having the special section allows me to add value to the Jers list (like links to the J wiki).
