Gulp. I should've re-read my reply before I OKed it. Oh well, what's done is done. Water under the
bridge, Split milk. Yesterday's news. Water over the dam. Yada, yada, yada.
I'm still in the midst of writing my general-purpose, nicer-slicer-dicer, all-in-one, one size fits all,
money-back guaranteed (REXX) calculator (for a lack of a better word) program. It has over 1,225 functions
in it, unlimited precision, supports plotting, histograms, many, many format of output. It runs almost anywhere
and (for a few like-minded friends and myself), puts the recreation and fun back in recreational mathematics again.
I've found that quite a few of the tasks in Rosetta Code can be solved by a REXX routine (subroutine) that's
in my "calculator". I rip out the code from the offending, er, REXX code, and, ahhhhh, the polite phrase would
be to make it (more or less) readable to the novice programmer, and then add comments for most of the statements.
At least, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I'm getting more and more lazy as I think adding comments to my
code is like making a silk purse out of a sow's ear, and have become more lax in the addition of REXX statement
comments. [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]]
