Thanks, I have slowly figured a couple of things out. That example means, I think, solve {2a+b=2, 6a+5b=2, 7a+6b=2} ==> the answer, from (-2 2)*-1, is {a=2,b=-2}. I was thinking (and about to say) that a proper set of unit tests on Reduce() would help, but actually what I think I really need right now is unit tests (/detailed examples) on Swop(), especially with what it is trying to do to d[], so I can properly visualise (and maybe even understand) it. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 16:40, 25 December 2021 (UTC) |

=== Deserves to be on rc === |
|||
Regarding objectional/belong, this task has more merit than 9/10 tasks that get added to rc. I won't deny there was a |
|||
little (and irrelevant) grumpage (sorry), but that was much more about timing you could not possibly have known about. |
|||
If a task author wants to see an algorithm in different languages, it belongs on rc, and that want should be incentive |
|||
enough to take some extra trouble to explain it in layman terms. From my point of view I'd like to know more about |
|||
how this might be used/prove useful in some future (non-rc) project, and that requires my understanding it well enough |
|||
to debug and/or extend it. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 15:01, 26 December 2021 (UTC) |
