what's wrong (with my REXX program)?

I suggest to change header to:   what's wrong with my REXX program?   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 09:30, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Done.     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 17:56, 3 November 2018 (UTC)


My REXX algorithm works nicely most of the time. But sometimes it fails. E.g., with this matrix:

  3  1  8  9  6
  6  2  8 10  1
  5  7  2 10  3
  3  2  7  7  9
  3  5  6  1  1

The first elimination sets a.2.2=0 and how could this become 1 furtheron? Help! Thanks!! --Walter Pachl 08:52, 3 November 2018 (UTC)




I don't see your failure,   a.2.2   becomes zero and stays a zero.

Also, where it says "Main diagonal has all ones" isn't true.

With:

       a=  3 1 8 9 6     6 2 8 10 1     5 7 2 10 3     3 2 7 7 9     3 5 6 1 1 
Output:

  3  1  8  9  6  1  0  0  0  0

  5  7  2 10  3  0  0  1  0  0

I would add the statement   (at least for now):

  signal on noValue

as you have a piece of dead code (possibly a debugging leftover?):

  ss=sigl 


I used three different REXX interpreters, all yielded the same results.

Can any of the other programs handle this input correctly? --Walter Pachl 15:22, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
I ran it through the Perl 6 implementation and it works and is nominally correct. (If I invert the inverted matrix, I end up with the original.) I added it as another test case. See the last two tests under Gauss-Jordan_matrix_inversion#Perl_6 --Thundergnat (talk) 18:29, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, that helped. I fixed my program for the case that a.2.2=0.

My inverse matrix is the same as Perl 6's

Generalization of the REXX algorithm for ANY pivot=0 must be worked out (tbd) --Walter Pachl 19:58, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
