: If you still think the task is unclear with this additional information, could you try to come up with some way of phrasing it that you would understand? As the task was clear to me, I'm probably the wrong person to do that :-) -- [[User:Dirkt|Dirkt]] 08:11, 27 March 2008 (MDT)
::Don't you think that asking the person who doesn't understand the task to explain it is a bit silly?
::Don't you think that asking the person who doesn't understand the task to explain it is a bit silly? Right now what we have for the "directions" for this task is an explanation of why it was done, a silly quote, and nothing else. The description says nothing about nested subroutines or stack frames. It needs ''steps or characteristics'' at the ''top'' of the page. Don't link to another page to explain the task. Don't hope that people can decode the task from other languages. Especially, don't trust task description to someone who doesn't understand the task (like me and Sgeier in this case). --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 08:54, 27 March 2008 (MDT)
::: No. Because those people who had problems with understanding the task have a feeling where the problems are, and what information they need (once they understand what is meant).

::: See what I mean? ''You'' know very well what is needed. Much better then me :-)

=== Copyright issues ===
The fact that this page sprung into being with many language examples at once with code wrapped in <source> blocks makes me worry that the code was transwikied from somewhere like Literate Programs, which would be a copyright violation. Are you certain that you have permission to do this? (Hmm. I was going to point you at a Copyrights page, but I can't seem to find one.) --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 10:35, 18 December 2007 (MST)
