I fail to see how is identity considered constant. To me succ and pred are ideologically similar to identity (where as they return successor / predecessor of the input argument), and from your point of view they should also be constant since there is only one succ and one pred function. Actually, from your point of view each unique function (a function that returns different result for different argument) should be considered constant function since there is only one way to get the result.
Also, I found this example in my (quite old) "learn c" book under "defining functions and constants" #define PI 3.14159 #define pred(x) ((x)-1) which further proves my point. To me a constant function is f(x) = x^0, since it's always equal to 1. -- joneff On Oct 21, 12:44 pm, Izidor Jerebic <ij.l...@gmail.com> wrote: > I beg to differ.
