Generalization

This is an interesting programming challenge. An active discussion is needed to strike a balance between generalization and defeating the task.

  • I would expect to see a number of languages mark this as omit.
  • Would this only be possible for languages with implicit iteration?
  • Would it be fair to relax the lists to lists of lists or supplementary lists in cases of languages like C that represent strings as arrays?
  • Etc.
