[Jprogramming] Translating BASIC into J

[Ian Clark]

Here's my take on the topic: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/IanClark/credo

There's a script at the bottom of the wiki page you can download.

I haven't attempted to replicate BASIC's itty-bitty I/O, all mixed-up
in the processing. As well write a mini interpreter in J and get it to
run the BASIC code!

Instead I've intuited the algorithm and done it as a J-er would.
Might.
Would.
(At least, as this J-er would).
