Hellooooo Simon !
Hmmmm... All this is important to settle before implementing those
BoundedIntegerSequences objects somewhere indeed.
What I thought you intended was to write a very low-level data structure
somewhere in the misc/ folder. The kind of stuff that one does not use by
mistake, the kind of stuff that ones does not use without reading the
manual first. So I thought it would not exactly check its input, trusting
blindly the developer and being as efficient as possible.
Then, I thought you would have a higher-level algebraic stuff with parents
colors and blinking lights that would check their input indeed, and be
what we want a user-friendly object to be.
But I actually have only one question: I don't know how you intend to use
all this in the end, but I got the impression that several functions may
have to generate a LOT of paths in order to compute some small data, and
throw all the paths away once the computations have ended. Do you want do
create high-level objects in those functions or not ?
If you don't, then perhaps you would be better with only low-level objects
that you know how to use, which would not have to waste time (if time is
actually wasted) on high-level problems.
And so I thought that you high-level objects would have a variable which
would be this low-level object, etc, etc...
What do you have in mind ?
