Revision as of 03:19, 16 August 2009 by rosettacode>Paddy3118 (Not wrong as such. task needs clarification.)

Should this be "Basic language learning"? I don't even know. Oligomous 12:10, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

This is a bit too similar to Prime decomposition for my taste. --IanOsgood 15:48, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

The Clojure, Python, Ruby and Tcl examples are all wrong; they omit the number itself which is always a factor (just as 1 is). Oops! --Donal Fellows (not logging in on this computer; don't own it...)

No they are not wrong as such, the task description is very woolly. Do we mean integer factors? What about negative factors? Do we include zero?
The task specification needs to be tightened up, so following what was given would most likely fit what was envisaged, but I should have flaagged for clarification. --Paddy3118 03:19, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
