This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity
They are the same difficulty level, sure, but that's like saying f(x) and f'(x) are at the same difficulty level. Coming from one to the other in a process is the difficult part, and the code offers instructions to follow this process.
I mean they are both the exact same thing, I don't see why summation is scray when the for loop isn't. It's the same thing written in a short and easy format.
