>"debt" should be spelled "det". Yes, it should. No, it isn't. :) I disagree, but if we have accepted that a vector is a collection, then a polygon is a vector. Or it at least has a vector. ________________________________ From: Development <[email protected]> on behalf of Marc Mutz <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2017 9:15:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Development] QList On 2017-03-26 10:50, Martin Smith wrote: [...] > No, a vector is direction and a length.

If you're into mixing math and CS terms, then no, the second: A vector is an element in a vector space and a tuple is an element of a Cartesian Product over (generally) unstructured sets. Yes, using vector for an array type was not Stepanov's best choice of terms (he says so himself), but what you're doing is like arguing that "debt" should be spelled "det". Yes, it should. No, it isn't. :) Thanks, Marc _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
