<br>
I am not at all a J programmer, but I remember that in old APL the<b>
'and'</b> was purely boolean (giving<br>
a domain error as well if the arguments were not 0 or 1), but the
ISO standard for extended APL then<br>
allowed non-boolean arguments as well (and the result is then the
least common multiple (aka. LCM)<br>
of the arguments).<br>
<br>
I suppose that J is still behaving like the old APL for dyadic
&. No idea, though what monadic & does in J, it seems<br>
to have a meaning there? Or was it the !!! that cause the error?
One more reason to use APL.<br>

Hi,
Sure here it is. Don't expect anything big in it - it is just a couple
