Talk:Ethiopian multiplication

Flagged tasks without separate named routines for half, double, even

I am sure that most languages could dispense with those requirements of the task spec and create a smaller program, but I think people should refrain and stick to the spec so examples can be easily compared, and the page doesn't get to long. I flagged a number of examples accordingly. It was hard doing this for the x86 assembly - the routine might have been similarly coded in a multitude of assembly languages for machines without multiplication, but in the end - it doesn't answer the task. Sorry. --Paddy3118 06:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Technically, the task doesn't stipulate that the routines have to be named. Some languages allow the creation of anonymous functions, so the concept of defining a function might not be entirely clear cut. -- Sluggo 04:31, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

You do have to create a function. the intent is for it to be a named function where the name should indicate the functions purpose. I am hoping that most contributors will go with the intent. --Paddy3118 18:33, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

You can clarify the task, and then mark the tasks which don't quite comply. --Michael Mol 23:51, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
