Talk:Odd word problem

Explanations

Obviously, this task is not about text processing. Rather, it's about conditional code execution order. The even words are straightforward, while reversing odd words are easy with, say, recursion, with the catch that the word end marker (punctuation) needs to be processed after the recursion has returned. If peeking ahead is allowed, then this difficulty is removed and the whole thing becomes quite moot. --Ledrug 20:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

So this is a modified version of the problem that has been linked to? The solutions there seem to use buffers and peeking a lot. The site also says that the words will be a maximum of 20 characters long. Unless I'm missing changes in the spec later in the discussion, maybe there should be no link at all to that site (just to avoid confusion). --Mwn3d 20:12, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
