:I had wanted to see if we could get the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree category tree extension] installed a long time ago. Maybe that would help. For this particular case, one of the best things to do would be to finish the migration of the old [[Loop Structures]] task. That doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention from people who understand the examples that are left, though. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 17:32, 15 September 2009 (UTC) |

I think this page should be entitled "Solutions by Programming Category", because the list is by category, rather than by task. |

It might also be useful to add a tasks by category link to this page in the left hand main menu of rosetta code. |

Revision as of 13:49, 7 May 2011
Kinda messy
I just wanted to use RC to check whether Python has a "while"-type statement and what the syntax is. I figured this would be the place to start looking. As far as I can tell, it is not. The closest I came was going through "Basic language learning" which gets me to a sub-category "control structures" in the task description of which I find a link to "loop structures" which informs me that it is a "former task" and that I should now look for "Iteration" tasks. Which, in turn, do not appear to exist, or at least not on this page or on a page linked from here. To me, at least, this all looks confused and disorganized. Sgeier 23:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

It might also be useful to add a tasks by category link to this page in the left hand main menu of rosetta code.
