::::But neither output text nor internal numbers are inputs in and of themselves (though either of them can be, with appropriate external interfaces). So this is a meaningless distinction without additional unspecified structure. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 22:39, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::"The task is to output the sequence of binary digits for a given non negative decimal integer." - The word "given" here means supplied as input (this can be parametric input to the conversion routine, rather than user input), but I think that is splitting hairs. The task description looks fine to me. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 23:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
: It is hard to get a task description correct. The descriptions given might have needed some polish, but was a long way from being an outright mess, and could, and has been, improved over time. Tone can be very hard to convey in such short paragraphs common to RC and people can fail to see an encouragement to improve when couched in ambiguous terms. (Ambiguous in the sense that is the intent to get someone ''else'' to improve the task description, or is it to belittle someone)?
