→'Optimized' examples - perhaps review their relevance and move or delete ? tho they may express a structural flaw in the task ...
Line 24:
I would prefer if all solutions had at least the unoptimized version, though the optimized is fine with me as well (as of this writing, Erlang is missing a unoptimized version for example) --[[User:AlexLehm|AlexLehm]] 22:19, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
:Optimized solutions are essentially bypassing (my opinioin) the task requirements in that they don't perform the task's description (which I interpreted as implying how to solve the task or at least, implying the method; namely: visit every door and toggle the door). Otherwise, why don't we just change the task's name to ''display the non-negative squares up to'' '''N'''? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:49, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
:: Perhaps it was inevitable that this task would split into two, given the character of its solution. Understandable to have decided, at some point that 'optimisations' were OK, but maybe that can still be reversed, and a perhaps second simpler task created, to harvest the various routes which have been shown to generating a simple series of powers. Personally, when I added an 'unoptimised' solution, I felt some kind of pressure of precedent to provide a counterpart to the demonstrations of simple series in other languages. Can't speak for others, but I would be very happy to have my own 'optimised' snippets moved or simply binned :-) [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 16:57, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
