I never said you did not understand binary search.
Agreed. Where did that come from?
I did say the array does not have to be sorted.
But it does! http://algorithms.openmymind.net/search/binarysearch.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm
Your 'counter-example' is no counter example.
Yes, it is.
But this is all besides the point. You are saying that binary_search() is fine, except we should drop the slicing functionality and the jaygade point, as you think that seem to overcomplicate things.
and wasn't this accepted?
Sort of. Everyone seems to agree with it theoretically, but due solely to backwards compatibility concerns, this change won't happen.
Jim,
If you are going to ban everyone who disagrees Euphoria will die.
If I ban everyone who's ever disagreed with me? Agreed. I'd have to ban Derek and Matt and Shawn and euphoric and Jeremy and ... dang, probably the entire community. Almost everyone who has ever posted on the forum!
Of course, I have no desire to ban people who merely disagree with me on an academic subject. That would just be plain silly. So, what's your point?
You want to ban me
When did I say this? I did suggest extended moderation may be in the offing, but that's not the same thing as a ban.
because I doubted your qualifications.
This has nothing to do with it.
