Hi Juergen, I looked at the http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-apl/2014-07/msg00249.html and that is what i am 'using' as a programming technique - that ∇ is in a uncommented line
my 2nd ∇ is in a comment and should be ignored this is more how i use it in code i would uncomment the 2nd line ⍝ '⊂⌸⋸' ∇ and comment the 3rd line 'aaa' ∇ this is more like how i would code ∇im ⍝ '⊂⌸⋸' ∇ 'aaa' ∇ ∇im '⊂⌸⋸' ∇ ⍝ 'aaa' ∇ On Sun, 29 Jan 2017 14:08:06 +0100 Juergen Sauermann <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > which one? > > The first ∇ opens function im > > The second ∇ is at the end of the comment and closes the function and > <---- it is at the end of a comment and should not close > the function > brings you back to immediate execution. > > The third ∇ is the one below the comment line.
