== what is meat by ''function''? ==
What specifically is meant by 'function'? Would 'routine' or 'relinkable code' suffice? I recall that there was some difficulty in another task where there was a hang-up on another task about how languages could implement code asking for the implementation and demonstration of utility code. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:48, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Line 13 ⟶ 17:
IDL has builtins for most of these, or at the most would come to something like <tt>total(a*b)</tt>. Would it be acceptable to just show how this would be done there or do you really want me to "create a function" that merely returns the result of a one-liner?[[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]] 04:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
== Rigid requirements ==
Task requirement 3 and 4 should be dropped. Dot and cross products are fundamental, while the triples are not, they are just combinations of the former two. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 03:42, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
:True, they are not fundamental; but they are common. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:42, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
:: I meant those don't have to be implemented as functions. If using operator overloading, they are naturally done by dot and cross, defining their own functions is counterintuitive. I have no problem as to requirement 7 and 8 without the "their function" part. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 06:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Makes sense. I edited the task description to make the function optional. Thanks. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:00, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
