Bug #59062 for Math-TriangularNumbers: docs of "left" and "right" inverses

Fri Jul 02 16:05:09 2010 user42 [...] zip.com.au - Ticket created

Subject:	docs of "left" and "right" inverses
Date:	Sat, 03 Jul 2010 06:00:00 +1000
To:	bug-Math-TriangularNumbers [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Kevin Ryde <user42 [...] zip.com.au>

In the docs I found the wording "right" inverse, and now "left" likewise, a bit unclear. As a suggestion it might be worth expanding it a little and perhaps saying something like index of N or of the next higher triangular number if N is not triangular, or "rounded up" or something like that.

I reworked my Perl library a few months back -- pulling out common code, trying to make things more consistent, automating tarball and HTML creation, putting everything into the Dpchrist::* name space, etc.. I've just reworked Math::TriangularNumbers into Dpchrist::TriangularNumber and uploaded everything to CPAN. Please installing my bundle: Bundle::Dpchrist Please change your code: use Math::TriangularNumbers qw(T Ti is_T); => use Dpchrist::TriangularNumber qw(:all); T() => triangular_number() Ti() => triangular_inverse() is_T() => is_triangular_number() HTH, David

I reworked my Perl library a few months back -- pulling out common code, trying to make things more consistent, automating tarball and HTML file creation/ naming, putting everything into the Dpchrist::* name space, etc.. I've just reworked Math::TriangularNumbers into Dpchrist::TriangularNumber and uploaded everything to CPAN. Please installing my bundle: # cpan Bundle::Dpchrist Please change your code: use Math::TriangularNumbers qw(T Ti is_T); => use Dpchrist::TriangularNumber qw(:all); T() => triangular_number() Ti() => triangular_inverse() is_T() => is_triangular_number() It will likely need more work to minimize the memory footprint. HTH, David

I thought that style was mainly for personal stuff. If something is for general use I would think it might as well be named under a category like "Math" etc.

If and when I feel like my skills and code are good enough, perhaps. David
