Hello Booya!, and welcome. You might want to visit Textbook planning and the first few sections of the Staff lounge to get a sense of how books are built. Cheers, Sj 22:49, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Algorithm_implementation/Search/Binary_search#Python

I see that you do Python contributions for Algorithm implementation. So could you fix Algorithm_implementation/Search/Binary_search#Python? My ranting where done mostly in the hope that some Python contributer fixes the code and other language contributors pick up the idea of "test drivers". The Algorithms book actualy demands that within its "Guidelines for Contributors" ("Implementations should be tested well and include test cases.").

I suspect - from my little Python knowlede - that the last line where not copied and

center  = left + (right - left) / 2;

might do the trick. But that would untested.

Unfortunately, no — I've transwikied some code, but the only contribution I've made personally has been a Java heapsort (tested!). I'm not yet familiar with Python. The current state of the book is rather embarrassing; as I've mentioned, right now it's much more of a code dump than a book. Hopefully I'll get around to putting some serious effort into this, or find some recruits to work on it, which will include code testing. ~ Booya ^Bazooka 06:58, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
