[Jprogramming] What's in a noun?

[Roger Hui]

You have found an Easter egg!

   lr=: 3 : '5!:5<''y'''

   lr 3+4*i.100
3+4*i.100
   lr 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19
3+2*i.9
   lr (1e6$'J'),'J'
1000001$'J'
   lr ;:'Fire is catching.  If we burn, you burn with us!'
<;._1 ' Fire is catching. If we burn , you burn with us !'

etc.

The limit error is in the computation to produce 5!:5<'A'
