Line 25:
:When I made the 98 <-> 99 swap I had in mind the common scenario where the character immediately following digits was a space or a period. This means that, with '99' as terminator, some kind of lookahead or backtracking would be needed because there will be 3 '9' digits as the last part of the sequence: "3.1" becomes "9933399929911199". Here we would at first handle '999' as coming from the text "39" but on the error that there is no '99' terminator we re-nterpret the original text to be '3x' where x is not a digit. if the swap of the indicator from '99' to '98' is made there is no need for the lookahead or backtrack in that common scenario. If the OP of the task feels that the FIG or F/L should be '99' they could specify that, or that should be an option. Indeed the original task did not specify a particular checkerboard, so 2-digit numbers would be fine too --[[User:Wherrera|Wherrera]] ([[User talk:Wherrera|talk]]) 18:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
:Well, I think the three of us can probably agree that the most sensible solution is to swap the codes for F/L and SUPP and then just use 2 characters rather than three for figures. So unless the OP responds in the next 24 hours, I propose that we change things accordingly before other people start adding solutions. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 19:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
