Re: What atoms ought to be!
Yes complex numbers are used in the analysis of alternating current
circuits. Mathematicians use letter i to represent the value of the sqrt -1
In electronics we use the letter j because i is used to represent current.
But, My whole point is this.
Euphoria is not a universal langauge. There is no universal computer
langauge. Ada was suppose to be a universal language but I think
any Ada expert will tell you that there things that are not supported.
The Euphoria computer langauge was designed to be easy to learn and
easy to use for certain applications but it can't have features added
unless they benifit the majority of the users.
The Application should dictate which computer language to use not
how can I change a computer langauge to fit my application.
If you have an application that needs to use complex numbers then
you should be using Fortran ( a formula tranlation language ).
That is why there are many languages with so many different features.
If your writing a application the secret is to select the computer lanaguge
designed to perform the job.
If someone really wants to use complex numbers in Euphoria then maybe one
of the Mathematicians on the list can write a library for complex numbers
using assembler in an include file because it would be easier
than having Rob rewrite the language. The Mathematicians could work on it
just like the EE editor or any other project, but how many users will use
it.
Thanks Bernie
