:::: I said "may" not be considered, it wasn't a proclamation. I was trying to leave it up to the reader's point of view. In my opinion, numbers (with or without use of literals) within a computer program are part of the compute program, just as the language statements are. The numbers (as per the '''commatizing numbers''' task) did come from somewhere (or ''generated'' might be a better term), but I don't consider them as input (··· but they can be, that output can be considered as input to something else). It's all relative to what is being discussed, that is, your point of view seems centric to the computer program, my view is centric to the data (as that seems to be the topic). My point was that ''' input''' was not explicitly stated, just inferred. This discussion might be more about semantics than centricity (centrality?), however, and this is one rabbit hole that might not be worth going into. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:13, 30 August 2019 (UTC) |

::::: Both of you understand my intention :) Feel free to edit the task to make it more clear. I do think however that by talking about "syntax", it should be clear that I'm talking about the code that is being processed (e.g., interpreted, compiled). --[[User:Sorawee|Sorawee]] ([[User talk:Sorawee|talk]]) 00:41, 31 August 2019 (UTC) |
