:: Yeah, I read the ''lively'' (if not downright heated) discussion on the Pascal's triangle thing). This is one place where indentation is almost universally used elsewhere, I've never seen the presentation of Pascal's triangle so abused before. (Ok, a right triangle is a triangle, but still I view it as a crime ..., well, a misdemeanor then). For you guys on the other side of the pond, ''misdemeanour''. You'd thunk that a little effort would've gone a lone way here. Showing Pascal's triangle in the usual matter should've been a requirement (too late for that, gosh darn!), but I can understand why some programmers took the easy way. I hope ''gosh darn'' isn't too strong for this forum, eh? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 23:02, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 
:: I view the triangle issue in the same vein as output (say) a list of primes or fibonocci numbers, you ''expect'' programmers to list them in ascending order, it's so normal of an expatation that nobody has to state the obvious ... until somebody doesn't. --- What youWhatcha mean, I can't output the numbers spelled out in English (or Spanish, or Mayan glyphs, or base 19 ...) ? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 23:14, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
