Rosetta Code talk:Add a Task: Difference between revisions

There needs to be a mention of the use of 'other' algorithms when the task allows - for example using regexps instead of an example using string search; or some other technique when brute-force search is the current solution method. We usually welcome them -sometimes on their own - other times in addition to other methods of solution. (Various [[Knapsack problem]] solutions have better methods than brute-force search for example). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:59, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

: Suggest creating a "what to expect" section, noting common variations and the like, noting that the task author is likely to be surprised by creative (but not necessarilly inappropriate) solutions. "other algorithms" would fall under that, pretty much as a single bullet point. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:24, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
