(→‎C and missing functionality: What was missing.)
Line 2:
What is the process for a task missing functionality when it could, but isn't yet provided. I can't remember the tag we have for "Please improve", but I guess it would go well with the current C entry that seems to be not written with the full task goals in mind. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 19:32, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
:Are you looking for {{tmpl|improve}}? If you're ever looking for a template, try [[:Category:Example attention templates]] and [[:Category:RCTemplates]] first. What is the C example missing? --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 19:39, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
::It ''was'' missing either a prominent explanation of why it cannot provide the output requested in the task description or it needs that output; it also lacked the example from the task description, the lexing of which is designed to be straight-forward and so allow code to concentrate on the shunting-yard part.
::There is no indication of the form of any output - the task requires a space separated string of tokens and this feature directly links to the other two tasks linked to from the task description that take that space separated RPN and either calculate the value or convert it back to an infix expression (whilst asking that you display what is happening in key data structures). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 19:55, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
