==What is a number?==
The task description should be more specific regarding meaning of number. Perhaps including example test cases and output. Presumably the number should not be negative. Should the output include the decimal point when and where appropriate? I'd suggest testing 2, 0.2 and 10.89, with output showing decimal point correctly. With √2 to 480 or 500 decimal places or integers.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 15:38, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
