I thought I'd seen a way of highlighting a draft task (the ''requirements'' in this case) in some manner.   If somebody could inform me how to do that (or change it directly), I would be obliged.   As this is a draft task, my attempt should suffice in the interim. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 14:16, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 
: Having written a few tasks in the past, I advise that you shouldn't get too prescriptive as to the nature of the output unless the producing of that output in that exact form is the ''sole'' reason for the task; it isn't here, since there's also the calculation of the Hamming weight itself. “Printing a list of numbers” isn't really very significant for most languages these days, after all. (Should we change the name of the task to reflect the wikipedia name for this sort of thing? “Population count” is more likely to be confused with something else.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 21:37, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
