:: It happens way too often: sometimes a task is given without fully understanding its complexity ([[Last letter-first letter]]), sometimes the task giver has a rather naive understanding of the question asked ([[Convert decimal number]]), and sometimes the task giver doesn't know what's involved at all ([[Colour pinstripe/Printer]], [[Pinstripe/Printer]]), all of which give a lot of confusion to people who try to provide example solutions. Read through the comments on this page, and see how hazy the task giver's idea about "number", "digit", "number crunching" and "string" is. Don't you think that's a little irresponsible? Confusion and lack of clarity lead to varying intepretations of tasks, resulting in code that's not correct or doing wildly different things -- do you care about the content on this wiki, or is it enough just being nice and fuzzy while cutting everyone some slack? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 08:59, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

:::FWIW I have exact ideas about what "number", "digit", "number crunching", and "strings" are. To me, these are not hazy at all. It's just that my ideas do not necessarily match other people's ideas. :) Admittedly, I don't know a lot about printing, but rosetta code is teaching me some things here, and I can use google, so I will learn how to print.
:: The task description now reads "natural numbers". Do we all agree that natural numbers are integers greater than or equal to zero? Or is this another source of confusion? [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 09:22, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
