The computer program listed below seeks to solve the following problem in Jong [12, p. 17, Problem 8]:
Minimize (X(1) ^ 2 - 4 * X(1) + 2 * X(2) ^ 2 - 8 * X(2) + 3 * X(3) ^ 2 - 12 * X(3) - 56) / (X(1) ^ 2 - 2 * X(1) + X(2) ^ 2 - 2 * X(2) + X(3) + 20) + ((2 * X(1) ^ 2 - 16 * X(1) + X(2) ^ 2 - 8 * X(2) - 2) / (2 * X(1) + 4 * X(2) + 6 * X(3)))
subject to
X(1) + X(2) + X(3)<=10,
- X(1) - X(2) + X(3)<=4,
X(1)>=1,
X(2)>=1,
X(3)>=1.
X(4) and X(5) below are slack variables.
Whereas line 199 of the preceding paper is 199 X(J99) = INT(X(J99)), here line 199 is 199 REM X(J99) = INT(X(J99)).

This BASIC computer program was run with qb64v1000-win [33]. The complete output through JJJJ = -31999.98 is shown below:

Above there is no rounding by hand; it is just straight copying by hand from the monitor screen. On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM and qb64v1000-win [33], the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through
JJJJ= -31999.98 was two seconds, not including the time for "Creating .EXE file." One can compare the computational results above to the results in Jong [12, p. 18].
