:Yep, a range with different endpoints represents a large number of individual floats, but is defined by its endpoints.
:To be able to asily compare outputs it seemed that a sorting should be devised so that all outputs would be similar, but, I wanted to impose no such limitation on inputs, so programs may have to pre-condition/normalize inputs depending on their code.
::There is no need to pre-condition/normalize inputs. Consider a range type on which I define addition and subtraction. The task then becomes adding the supplied list of lists of test ranges to an empty range. So the first case would be let n=[()]+[(1,1)] then let g=n+[(2,2)]. Of course I wouldn't dare improve this task by adding extra credit, but I shall give extra credit to those solutions implementing subtraction.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 14:13, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
:Pythons pre-normalization is an integral part of its algorithm. (Which I have not yet fully tested}.
