The paper deals with more examples of calculations: convert fahrenheit to celcius, calculate volume. It does not cover interactive applications. I hope you are not redefining the problem to fit the solution which can be a weakness of pure mathematicians and functional programmers (and negative though it is I have to add: Its a waste of everybody's time. It would be much better if people were direct about what their solution addresses instead of leaving it vaguely defined in the hope that people will think it is of practical use for more than it actually is)
- eru 10y agoYes, Excel is limited. Yet, people manage to solve lots of business relevant problems within its constraints. Excel is very interactive: you can change input and immediately get a different output. (I think you were trying to talk about a different restriction. Excel is very limited in the kinds of inputs and outputs you can make, and even more so in the kind of side-effects you can cause.)
