But also display of asymmetric results seems both ugly and difficult to interpret, so I'll just mention that this is how the task is currently written. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 10:11, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

::Hmm... you are correct. Testing this, I see that the javascript implementation does indeed give different results with this change. So I guess that must mean that I also imagined this flaw existing in the J implementation. Chalk it up to not double checking my thoughts... Thanks. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]])
::Hmm... you are correct. Testing this, I see that the javascript implementation does indeed give different results with this change. But looking at that flawed J implementation, the deviation from the javascript implementation is real. To simulate it in the javascript implementation, you would need to consider the i and j values as members of a list and only combine values from a/b where the i list and the j list had the same index. Anyways,, I'll let you come up with a change to the task description to catch this issue - if it matters to you. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 12:43, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
