minus-squarebitfucker@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoI thought that you mean the color doesn’t matter just that they match on the termination point, not as a pair. So you can have C with brown and green for example
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoThat you cannot do. Or at least you’ll have a lot of connectivity problems if you do.
