Here's a quick poll. In Python, if I write "-1 % 5", I get 4. This is how we do it in Sage as well (and I think it's the right way--that's not what I'm trying to ask). However, in C if I write "-1 % 5" I get -1. The question is, what should I get in Cython if I write (a % b) where a and b are cdef ints? Should I
[ ] Get 4, because it should behave just like in Python, even though it will require extra logic and be a bit slower [ ] Get -1, because they're C ints, and besides we wouldn't be using Cython if we didn't care about performance [ ] Let the programmer decide (e.g. using http://wiki.cython.org/ enhancements/compilerdirectives ) recognizing that % will mean different things in different contexts. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
