output

Wouldn't it be sufficient just to print the cycle? Fwend (talk) 14:23, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Not a bad idea. My choice of output was influenced by the needs of an algorithm that uses Cycle detection as a subroutine. Printing the cycle would make it easier to test and visualize the results. --Paul.chernoch (talk) 18:58, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

task requirement

I've noticed that some entries don't use the Brent algorithm in finding a solution.

Is it an intent that the solutions   must   use the Brent algorithm?   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 22:07, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
