and I can't even do algebra correctly. To make a long story short, in the second functions I was putting the x in the denominator when it needs to be in the numerator...
But! Your post is not in vain, Danny. I like the idea of storing the value instead of two functions.
As for the rational module--I didn't know it existed, so I have written my own. I was going to post it some time this week to flaunt my newest cool thing, but this caught my attention...
Thanks! Jacob
>[some text cut]A table that stores a similar amount of information might be something like this:
### meterRatios = { 'm' : D(1), ## 1 meter == 1 meter 'km' : D(1000), ## 1000 meters == 1 kilometer 'cm' : D(1)/D(100), ## .001 meters == 1 centimeter 'mm' : D(1)/D(1000), ## .0001 meters == 1 millimeter } ###
That is, from the table above, we can see that since there's one meter to a thousanth of a millimeter, we can go the other way and say that one thousand millimeters is one meter. (1/x)
Oh good grief, did I really write that? I'm sorry, I meant to say:
"""[...] since there's one-thousandth of a meter in a millimeter, we can go the other way and say that there are one thousand millimeters in one meter. """
I can debug code with some fluency, but I have to do better to debug my English. *grin*
