From 2e0ffc9fdda78852b091c9f078cc3ecaef5de5b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Llewellyn-Jones Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 19:09:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update the "more verbose" tutorial example There are two changes here, one of which may be a bit contentious. I really enjoyed working through this, but I was thrown by the final comments concerning 167. What's so different about 167 compared to 168? I found the program generator was quite happy to come up with a program for both. I thought it might be interesting therefore if the 167 example was something that the program generator was not able to solve. This, I think, makes it more interesting and also emphasises that the software is doing what the user would expect (i.e. not coming up with a solution that doesn't exist). This change therefore constrains the values to being even, so that the 167 result can't be obtained. The second, smaller change, is to use 'Number# instead of 'Real'. I was uncomfortable with the latter simply because, even in the original version, they are in fact all integers. I understand if you feel these changes are making things overly complicated. I just thought they'd make an interesting example. --- .../tutorials/getting_started_with_herb.jl | 36 ++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/src/tutorials/getting_started_with_herb.jl b/docs/src/tutorials/getting_started_with_herb.jl index 8e841ae..aec38c2 100644 --- a/docs/src/tutorials/getting_started_with_herb.jl +++ b/docs/src/tutorials/getting_started_with_herb.jl @@ -18,20 +18,20 @@ Specifically, we will look at example-based search, where the goal is to find a # ╔═╡ 841f097d-a389-4dd2-9ad3-1a2292568634 md""" ### Setup -First, we start with the setup.
