[Shootout-list] n-body anomalies

[Greg Buchholz]

    Just a few questions about the n-body test.  It looks like we're
mostly computing the amount of round-off error in simulating our
algorithm, correct?  What does a negative energy imply (i.e. the answer
is -0.169)?  And why isn't energy simply computed as 1/2*m*v^2?

Thanks,

Greg Buchholz
