Talk:Combinations with repetitions

From Rosetta Code
Revision as of 23:31, 16 November 2010 by rosettacode>Dkf (→‎Task definition: new section)

Original implementations needed; the linked site does not indicate any license or copyright notice, which leads it to default (at least where Rosetta Code is based out of) to a default of "all rights reserved." The task can likely go to non-draft once it's slightly cleaned up, and original implementations are provided. --Michael Mol 19:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Task definition

At this stage, it's very hard for me to work out exactly what is to be implemented; the task gives very little guidance over what a “k-combination with repetition” is exactly (it's not the clearest of wikipedia pages that is linked to). At the very least, I'd expect it to use a simple small example (with as few elements as possible) to show exactly what is meant and how things differ from a standard combination-enumerator; it could then ask for the generation of the combinations for a larger input set. –Donal Fellows 23:31, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
