Line 23:
: You could have a good RNG and yet get exactly 100 points by simply checking for duplicates and continuing until you have 100 points (or alternatively, make a list of all points, random-shuffle it, and take the first 100 items from the resulting list).
: BTW, the revised description isn't quite right: The points don't overlap; you get the ''same'' point several times. --[[User:Ce|Ce]] 16:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
:: The Algol68 example has 257 points plotted, ... for the life of me, I couldn't find where it restricted the number of points to 100.
:: The PL/I example has only 39 points plotted, it's overly restricting the points (choosing a random point, and THEN see it the point is in the annulus).
Am I following the proper protocol for drawing attention to an example's deficiencies, or should I live by the motto: "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 16:59, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
