Just a head's up, there's an easy way to remember Dijkstra's spelling: D ijk stra. You know, ijk as the common loop indices.

- Scarblac 3y agoAlso, think of ij as a single letter, quite like a y but with dots.

- klyrs 3y agoI've always thought the ijk were quaternions and the alternative spelling would be D-1stra.
