[Jprogramming] Translating BASIC into J

[Linda Alvord]

I pieced it all together from your description and it worked fine. I got this message in Chrome when I looked at the jijx window. 

This page is in French Would you like to translate it? Translate Nope

Click on French to choose among many languages.
Then choose Translate or Nope

I would have thought it was in Latin, but that wasn't one of the many options it had.

I picked a number I liked and got:

   pray 36
EXPECTO AMEN
