Line 7: :: @Dkf: I'll reword the datatype thing. --[[User:Ledrug\|Ledrug]] 11:16, 30 September 2011 (UTC) :This depends on an implementation for "real numbers" and it's not clear whether floating point is considered adequate in this role. --[[User:Rdm\|Rdm]] 17:57, 30 September 2011 (UTC) : The name of the task is somewhat unfortunate, since only a (rare IMO) subset of the sets of real numbers are included. I'd think that "intervals of real numbers" would be more accurate. Any other ideas for names? : Otherwise the task seems fine to me. : [[User:CRGreathouse\|CRGreathouse]] 08:17, 21 November 2011 (UTC) :: Indeed, the number of sets of real numbers describable by this task is countable; whereas the number of sets of real numbers is uncountable. (In fact, the real numbers are already uncountable; its power set has an even bigger cardinality than the real numbers.) So, in fact, this task covers a measure-zero subset of the sets of real numbers. --[[User:Spoon!\|Spoon!]] 10:07, 21 November 2011 (UTC) ==Wolfram Mathworld and Perl==
