:I do not know if it needs four tasks, but the API needed for an implementation of both the task and the extra credit could be annoyingly complicated to implement, for some languages and/or implementers. But I suppose the extra credit part currently does have enough ambiguity to spawn several tasks? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 20:30, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, I was referring only to the ambiguity in the interpretation of the non-extra credit part. <tt>:)</tt> The degrees of freedom (some since patched in the description) seem to have included 1) whether patterns are to be applied left-to-right in parallel vs each pattern does a split and then each substring is split on subsequent patterns, 2) whether the patterns are meant to be re-used vs the patterns are used once (or maybe even cyclically), and 3) whether the list should be assumed to be ordered vs the function should order them to ensure longest-token matching. Most of this dithering would have been avoided if the task description had been written unambiguously in the first place, but seeing the ambiguities of one's own writing is difficult for most folks... --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] 23:20, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
