===Scope Creep=== |
|||
'''Scope Creep''' is what happens when a task's title and/or criteria are not specific enough, leading to code examples that accomplish dissimilar goals. Please help prevent scope creep by defining your tasks specifically. For example: |
|||
* Don't create a task about sorting, create a task about sorting using a specific algorithm or unique style of data. |
|||
* Don't create a task about control structures, create a task about a specific class of control structures (eg. loops.). |
