:: No it's not about making this method the most efficient for matrices, it's about why mentioning matrix -- or anything -- at all. You have four things in this task: generate all permutations; list parity for each; use swap only; apply to matrices. The first two are interesting enough, but there's no reason they can't be just included in the existing [[Permutations]] task, with or without the swapping requirement; the determinant thing is a nobrainer given the first two, particularly since it's not even a good method. To make it worse, it's questionable if the code under "recursive" heading can even be called a swapping method. Basically, I don't see why this task merits being a, well, task, instead of just a subheading under [[Permutations]]. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]]
 
::We differ. That can be good. Try looking a little deeper and seeing if the author might not be trying to pull a fast one on you and cut them some slack. Or not. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 03:17, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 
:Yep Ledrug, although its use in the other task is mentioned, somone made a well-meaning change to the functions interfacethat broke things. I have removed that change as it was quickest, but I should probably update the Matrix task in the future. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 21:45, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
