:The task states that 6, 1, and 7 are given. I didn't want people to assume they got 1,6,7 in that order. I would therefore be inclined to not ''insist'' that a routine should also account for duplicates. (Although I had noted this addition in the TCL example which is fine). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 17:01, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
::It seems like having duplicate indicies wouldn't change the outcome, but it would waste a few cycles reassigning the same number to the same index. some computer languages might not work like my brain though. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 18:21, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:::The problem is that the repeated indices will not, in general, correspond to the location of the repeated data, once the data is sorted. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 18:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
