:::: Yes, it's difficult to not be silly when the task itself is somewhat silly. That said, note that some of your "incorrect" markers might not be completely accurate. Perhaps we should ask for example output? For example, I believe that $ is by convention a string terminator in 8086 assembly (like ascii nul character in C). |

::::: Yes, I would like to see the output of the '''Chef''' example, for one. I would also like to know if any languages '''don't''' support lowercase, or for that matter, "special" characters like the exclamation point ['''!''']. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 21:03, 1 November 2012 (UTC) |

::::: I don't feel that his task is silly, brief and simplistic as it is. In any case, if amyone has questions about any possible incorrect flags that I did, please raise them here. I based my flagging ('''incorrect output''') if the first word is '''Hello''' instead of '''Goodbye''', and/or no comma (followed by a space), '''world''' instead of '''World''', and/or no trailing exclamation point ['''!''']. Also, the case of the words must be (only) the first letter capitalized. In other words, it must be ''exactly'': '''Goodbye, World!''' ------- Whatever the error(s), they'll be simple to fix. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 21:00, 1 November 2012 (UTC) |
