f/ on Sparse Arguments Improved initial writing: 2001-07-29
last updated: 2004-10-26

The monads f/ on sparse arguments have been made more efficient in time and space. The following table compares the time and space required for +/s and +/"1 s for sparse s of various shapes.
   s=: 1 $. shape
   r=: ?. 1e5   $ 1e6
   i=: ?. (1e5,#$s) $ $s
   s=: r (<"1 i)}s

   ts=: 6!:2 , 7!:2@]   NB. time and space
   ts '+/   s'
   ts '+/"1 s'
