Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Arrays

In RC, Array tasks are not very organized. Let's see: Array, Creating an Array, Array Initialization, Collections, and a lot of examples in Creating an Array (mostly dynamic languages like Python) aren't really using Arrays, they are using just Lists, Vectors and etc. Arrays are not dynamic. A solution is create a Creating a List or etc. But other languages call it in a different way. This is not really a solution.

A real idea is merging Assigning Values to an Array, Creating an Array and all Array related tasks in an single task. (Arrays), and creating another task for any "dynamic array" (Lists/Vectors/Sets) called Dynamic Arrays, showing how to create and append values to it. There is a lot of confusion on array tasks in RC. This really need to be changed. --Guga360 02:35, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't like the single task idea. That single task could become very bloated when people try to show all the possible things you can do with an array (and all the ways you can do them). Creating an Array and Array Initialization already have efforts in the works to combine them (not really combine them...more like get rid of Array Initialization completely after all of its information has been reviewed by people who understand the examples that are left). There might be another way to simplify all of the array tasks without making them into one gigantic, memory-hogging, uneditable task. --Mwn3d 02:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I understand. But, about "dynamic arrays", what do you think? Python example is using Lists, but Python has an "array" module. C++ example is using both: arrays and vectors, C# example is showing only arrays, but C# has a List class. There is no OCaml example to create and append values to "dynamic arrays" in RC. I think splitting arrays and dynamic arrays it's a good idea. Arrays are not dynamic. But a lot of examples are using dynamic arrays (Lists/Vectors/Sets). This is not exactly right. --Guga360 03:05, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
