Talk:LZW compression
Task and example
The task talks about compression, but I've seen a lot of examples implement both compression and decompression; should we create a new task (LZW decompression) where to move the decompression related code, or change this one and add decompression to those examples that still does not implement it? --ShinTakezou 16:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'd be in favor of splitting them apart, for clarity. (Never overestimate the understanding of an individual referred here by Google. Well, you should never underestimate them, either, but I think there's a greater risk of overestimating in this case.) --Short Circuit 21:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- I see it hard (1), since most OO-lang implementation must be split by the people who wrote the code or know the language; (1) by hard I mean, I can't do it by myself, I could just add a new decompression task and write an impl. for Obj-C that would be the "complement" of the one here, then mark all other examples as ... hm... they do the task, but do also more... so they are task-compliant in some way... (what?) --ShinTakezou 16:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- Not a problem, currently. I can understand the currently-listed languages enough to do the separation myself. I'll get to it as soon as I can, which will likely be some time after midnight EST. --Short Circuit 21:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
