01:01 <set_> @zmatt: I do not know if you are into algorithms but here...

01:02 <set_> : https://xlinux.nist.gov/dads/

01:02 <set_> Although a .gov site for the USA, it shows off some (all) algorithms.

01:05 <set_> Call the number!

01:05 <set_> Ha.

04:43 <set_> fabs!

04:47 <set_> Okay...I know the rule in this chat but pastebin is down for maintaining integrity.

04:47 <set_> HEADINGS = ('f', 's', '< 0', '> 0', '= 0')

04:47 <set_> print('{:^5} {:^5} {:^5} {:^5} {:^5}'.format(*HEADINGS))

04:47 <set_> ...

04:48 <set_> Why is * located before HEADINGS in the second line?

04:51 <set_> I mean is it because "< 0" and "> 0" and "= 0" have the relational symbols and the "*" symbol means everything within, no matter what is there in HEADINGS?

20:55 <zmatt> the * in this context basically dumps the contents of HEADINGS in the place of where *HEADINGS is written, so it's equivalent to print('{:^5} {:^5} {:^5} {:^5} {:^5}'.format('f', 's', '< 0', '> 0', '= 0'))

22:13 <Mor> Oh.

22:13 <Mor> Okay, thank you...

22:13 <Mor> Dang it.

22:14 <set_> @zmatt: Thank you.
