:::I could change it or leave it. Either case would work as the task explicitly states what to do with the r == 0.0 case, currently. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 21:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

::::And based on that, I've removed the marking of the Tcl version as incorrect. Inconsistencies in the spec mean that I can do that. (Anyone arguing that there always has to be two circles returned is just confusing restrictions caused by the way ''their'' language wants to do things; the natural thing in Tcl is just to return a list of all the circles that there are.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 13:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
