I am not registered there, so I can't vote, I guess. Generally I don't like reduce() HOF, because it generally leads to less readable code (and often people use it only to compute a sum or product of items), but this time it's a good enough usage. You have forgotten to compute the average, as requested by the original article. Regarding field access: assert(r.field[0] == 2); // minimum assert(r.field[1] == 11); // maximum I've found that sometimes a shorter syntax is nice, I use d0, d1, etc: assert(r.d0 == 2); assert(r.d1 == 11); (It doesn't replace the general [] access). >I've developed a skepticism towards arxiv.org.

I generally mostly care for the contents, so I like that source of knowledge. Bye, bearophile
