Line 62:
system clearly has no solution (the last equation requires that x, y and z satisfy 0x+0y+0z = −3,<br>
and no such numbers exist). Hence the original system has no solution.<br> [[User:Umariani|Umariani]]
:The algorithm does not have a bug. Failure to check conditions is not part of the algorithm, it is part of the implementation. That is just a degenerate case.
:A few points:
:# The task does not require checking for degenerate cases.
:# Even if it did, you gave no indication of which implementation fails on degenerate cases.
:# What should the implementation do in the case of a "failure"? Error message? Warning? Or just precede as far as possible? (Which is what the [[Reduced_row_echelon_form#Raku|Raku]] implementation does.)
