Language inconsistencies for different implementations

[leios]

Notice

Description

This is a list of all the language inconsistencies with certain implementations in the Algorithm Archive

1. Monte Carlo: in_circle(...) function reads in a radius in some languages and does not in others. Note: I personally think that these functions should not read in a radius parameter, simply because it is easier to pass around function pointers to similar in_shape(...) functions if we just use x and y as our parameters. Feel free to disagree.

I figure we should consistently update this list as more of these inconsistencies are found.

I believe it was the gauss elimination chapter where a language (I want to say python) outputs things in a different order than the rest. Will check once i have the chance. Not a big problem, but more a slight inconsistency

EDIT: So what I found so far in the gauss chapter code is that

• Rust only prints the Solution,
• Go prints original matrix, Gauss elimination, Gauss-Jordan, Solution in that Order (my preferred way)
• Julia only prints 3 Arrays of which i assume the last one is the solution, but without any description
• JS prints Gauss, Gauss-Jordan, Solution
• Java prints Gauss, Gauss-Jordan, Solution
• Haskell doesn't work with the standard ghc (a new issue I assume?) but should print Original Matrix, Echelon Form, Reduced Echelon Form and Solution in that order
• C prints Gauss, Gauss-Jordan, Solution
• C++ prints Original Matrix, Gauss, Solution, Gauss-Jordan

Personally I prefer the way go does it, so original matrix, Gauss elimination, Gauss-Jordan, Solution and also with a line that says what we are currently looking at.

EDIT 2: Not sure how important that is but in case the matrix would be singular:

• Go, C, Java, JS and Julia continue the loop and print that the matrix is singular
• C++, Haskell and Python continue the loop but don't print anything
• Rust prints that the matrix is singular but returns and doesn't continue

Yeah, please note these here and I'll update the list!
