Line 289:
I suppose another way of looking at this would be to suggest that the problem itself is wasteful? Or are these questions and thoughts too harsh? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 17:55, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
: Er, sorry, I see that what I wrote was ambiguous. I wasn't complaining about the pregeneration of the 960 entries, but about the generation of 40320 permutations, only to throw most of them away. Indeed, pregenerating the 960 entries makes perfect sense, especially if you can do it at compile time, and amortize it over many runs. I've clarified my comment, and added a faster way to pregen the 960 entries via construction. Thanks for pointing out the ambiguity in what I wrote. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] ([[User talk:TimToady|talk]]) 18:47, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
