:: I would prefer we leave out negatives. Stem plots look crap for negative numbers. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 08:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
::: I rather agree about leaving out negatives, it does complicate the programming. It took a few extra REXX statements to handle the case of '''-0''' and '''0''' to be handled as separate indices. It would be nice to have a companion Rosetta Code task to handle negative numbers (and also zeroes). An '''extra credit''' at this late point would be a day late and a dollar short. '''But''', I disagree about the stem plots looking like crap for negative numbers. See the output for the 2<sup>nd</sup> REXX version. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:57, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
