| Apr 12, 2023 at 16:13 | comment | added | Davislor | Yep, Donald Knuth invented his own imaginary machine language to write all his algorithms in. (One that looks much more like the computers of the ’70s than today.) He talks in the introduction about why he did it that way. There’s definitely a niche for demo code in C++. | |
| Apr 12, 2023 at 12:59 | comment | added | StormCrow | @Davislor, I tried getting a copy of that, but the cost at the time was too much. What I was able to find was all written in assembly, which was really hard to comprehend. Found the same thing with a book by Paul Zimmerman. In that instance it was I just couldn't read the math or the sudo code. That was why I started working on this. I wanted to make a library, which while not the fastest, would be readable and understandable by any student, regardless of skill level. | |
