In some of the issues postings there is discussion about the roots of the solver routine coming back as a set instead of a list. I just thought I would bring that discussion here to help raise any sentiments about that. (Sorry if it's listed already, I'm still finding my way around the sympy discussion area.)
I like the idea. Sets are the natural way to find out how two sets of items are related (union, intersection, difference). Also, the only thing that comes to mind that I might want to do with the roots is sort them in a given order. Sets are unordered, but the sorted() function sorts them and turns them into a list, behaving with sets just like it does with lists: >>> s=set([10, 1, 2, 3]) >>> s set([1, 10, 3, 2]) >>> for i in sorted(s): ... print i ... 1 2 3 10 >>> Does anyone else have thoughts about making the return value of the solvers a set instead of a list? /chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
