Hi, I’m just starting out with Julia and ran into a weird issue. I defined a function that can take float values (fp32 or fp64, but strictly no int) as follows function elim(A::Array{float},b::Array{float}) #= Function which transforms matrix A into upper triangular matrix U =# …

It is best practice to make the type signature as loose as possible to have generic and reusable code. elim(A:: Matrix{<: AbstractFloat},...) # for accepting all Floats or even elim(A:: Matrix,...) # for all element types Note that Matrix is a 2-dim array, which is probably a restriction that yo…
