:In my VB.net implementation I chose to build the list of points into an array beforehand and keep it separate from the calculation subroutine. It was implemented in a similar way to the Python routine otherwise. Admittedly, it'd probably have been more efficient just to write the list of points straight into the array, but would have been far less interesting that way! --[[User:TheMadman|TheMadman]] 13:31, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
:For J, I decided to do the simple thing, and then I fix the result by preventing the text of the first word from appearing multiple times in multi-word names. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 15:35, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 
: The walk through the table (the actual degrees used) struck me as odd. Basically a sawtooth walk going from lowest to middle to highest as each row is advanced. When I saw the task I expected to see the midpoints as the most obvious. Not sure what the reason was and it's not really important if your function translates an angle to a compass point. I suppose it test finding the edges. Was there a specific reason for that pattern of angles? --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 15:39, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
