naive?
Line 504:
==What language are the algorithms in?==
There are algorithms in the article which appear to be in some computer language or logical/mathematical notation. What is the language? Its syntax differs from programming languages I studied back in the day. It is not self-evident and self-explanatory. A link to some article dealing with the conventions and assumptions of the language would be helpful. [[User:Edison|Edison]] ([[User talk:Edison|talk]]) 18:01, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 
 
==Why "naive?"==
What makes the first algorithm "naive?" I see no explanation as to how it is lacking, or what rules are broken, or what complications are not taken into consideration. [[User:Edison|Edison]] ([[User talk:Edison|talk]]) 18:11, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
