I will note that while input has been defined, output has not, nor has the bounds of the input. Since the first implementation was in C, I would have expected a success/fail exit status to be the output, but apparently the output is meant to be the character '1' or '0' on stdout? Anyways, that said, I wanted to also point out that this I/O specification is heavily tailored to the C environment (or the unix environment, but unix and c were invented together), and is nearly nonsensical for other languages (such as SQL). And, from this, we can deduce that the input is probably meant to be terminated by end of file... --Rdm 15:56, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
