Re: [julia-users] A Test Matrix Collection for Julia

Hello, I have added 10 test matrices to the collection. (https://github.com/weijianzhang/MatrixDepot.jl) More matrices are on the way. Please let me know if you have any suggestions so that I can make quick changes at this stage. Thanks, Weijian On Wednesday, 26 November 2014 12:13:27

Dear Tamas, Thanks for your suggestion. After seeing your post, I spent some time trying to know the difference between symbols and strings. This stackoverflow post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23480722/what-is-a-symbol-in-julia was helpful. I think both symbols and strings are fine

Hi, This is a great idea. Just a cosmetic suggestion: given that Julia has symbols, would it make sense to use them (eg :hilb, :cauchy) instead of strings for selection? Strings are popular in S/R/S-plus for this purpose, but the syntax of Julia is more lispy so symbols may feel more natural
