Forsythe, Michael Malcolm and Cleve Mole suggest to try it on a=1, b=-105, c=1, but Ada sample code uses -10e5, which is indeed -1e6 (-106), if I was not wrong since I knew the "e" notation... --ShinTakezou 21:24, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


J example

Dumontier, hope you don't mind me replacing your example code. I understood that you were trying to illustrate the generality of p. however your example used a quadratic, that had already been shown above. If you were trying to illustrate some other point I apologise! --Tikkanz 23:14, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
