Line 8:
: Hi Donal, I would think that you don't actually have a task, draft or not, without that first implementation. They go together for me.<br> I don't often use the draft task status, and its usually when I find something that interests me, but I am unsure of wider interest, or might shift the focus of a task, as in [[Talk:Simple Quaternion type and operations]], and [[Talk:Short-circuit evaluation]], and [[Talk:Extreme floating point values]], and [[Horner's rule for polynomial evaluation]] - started as a draft I think because I couldn't get the formatting of the equations in the description right. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:47, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
==Other Algorithms==
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)
