Hi @sicp 

Here is a link to the kdb+/q Developer 1 Course that Michaela talks about in the video –kdb+/q Developer: Level 1 – KX Learning Hub
I will make sure to add links to the courses in the Products Overview course to eliminate confusion.

Thanks!

Hi @Sarah 

Can you save your progress so that I can access your server to have a closer look please?

Thanks!

Hi @Ken__ 

1. The h at the end of the list isn’t related to the last value. The h is placed at the end of the list to indicate this is a list of data type values.

2. Do you mean why are the results showing the types before displaying the list even though the “show” query comes before the “type” query?

Hi @jamesthompson 

Can you tell me what table it is please?

Hi @Kaitlin 

Is it okay if I access your server to have a closer look? Make sure to save your progress!

Thanks 🙂

Hey @Alain 

I’ve renamed your old instance “adv_capstone1” and your new instance is named just “adv_capstone”. I hope this helps!

Hi @proof 

I see you have resolved the issue, is everything working okay now? 

Thanks!

[megan_mcp]

Apologies for the delay in response I was out of office yesterday. I’m glad you have resolved the issue!

Any other questions, please feel free to ask 🙂

Hi @Sarah 

This issue has been resolved, let me know if you have any further questions 🙂 

Thanks!

Hi @Ken__ 

1. When running the type function, it will return the type code (an integer) indicating the data type of the value. The h represents that it is returning a short type code.

Whether we run it individually on each item e.g.

type `a
type 1	
type "b"


Output:
-11h  //short type code for symbol
-7h   //short type code for int
-10h  //short type code for char

Or in one go over a list:

type each GList	

Output:
-11 -7 -10h   //short type codes for symbol, int, char

The “h” at the end indicates that it is displaying the short type code for those items.

2. I believe the output format is due to Jupyter’s output model. Commands such as show x prints the result of evaluating x, but does not return a value. Jupyter cells only display the value of the last expression, and show returns nothing (:: or null), the output is printed directly as a side effect, not as a result.

For example, running show L will output the query last but outputting L as a variable will run before the second query (screenshots provided below)

I hope this helps!

Hi @jamesthompson 

I’ve sent you a private message about this 🙂

Hi @jamesthompson 

Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, can I access your server to take a closer look?

Thanks!

Hey @Kaitlin !

I sent you a private message 🙂

I would recommend running:

delete nbbo from `.

This will remove the table from memory and to reload the table run your code from exercise 1.1 again.

Let me know if you have any questions about this!
