Talk:Top rank per group

From Rosetta Code

Task Description is just about missing

What does the task require one to do? What group? What do you mean by ranker? --Paddy3118 12:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

It looks like the SMMEQL example was the original, definitive example on the page, so a new task description should be written with that as a basis. I'll get to it tomorrow on my lunch break, if nobody beats me to it. --Short Circuit 07:41, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I just changed the task description to show "department" instead of "group" because I thought it was unclear originally. I was going to explain it in my edit comment, but I tapped enter by accident when putting in a quote mark. --Mwn3d 20:57, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

The task description does not seem to qualify the output if the sorted values within one department were as follows:

9 8 8 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 6 5 5 4

I'm going to be away the next couple weeks, but here's an approach in J.
Using the following input:
