And the task with the Lisp example is lousy. Do you check if the dimensions match? Can you even tell if the object is indeed a matrix? If the dimensions are wrong, does it just blow up or silently give some undefined answer? -- [[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 18:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC) |

:It may be fine for educational purposes as long as we add a disclaimer saying that this is probably not the best way to do things in most languages (although we already have a disclaimer [[Rosetta_Code:General_disclaimer|here]] that says code here shouldn't be used for so called "serious work"). This task is probably pretty much perfect for array programming languages like [[APL]] and [[J]]. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 20:54, 9 June 2011 (UTC) |
