[Jprogramming] Inconsistency?

[Richard Donovan]

Well Henry I didn’t mean that because I didn’t know about it! 

It is a test to check if all y is contained in x which worked fine until y had a length of one! I spent all afternoon debugging it until I somehow managed to check the shape of things and to my surprise the length-one case is treated differently! 

Does this apply to every operation on data that may be one or more characters?

Thanks

Richard Donovan
