== Use 3 3 8 8 in example runs? ==
I have just updated the Python example to use precise rational arithmatic whenever a division is involved as the solution with the digits 3 3 8 and 8 of 8 / (3 - 8 / 3) does not evaluate to 24 when using floating point. You might have to switch too (although the task description does not mandate this)! --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:00, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
: I just noticed that my REXX program also suffered the same weakness. I have corrected the comparison logic and added support to find solutions for such numbers (that needed rational arithmetic or something similar). I also agree that '''3388''' should be one of ''those'' numbers to be tested for program validation. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 09:22, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
