Talk:Abundant odd numbers: Difference between revisions

: Er, no.   Nice numbers (according to the definition used in this task) uses the word   ''factors'',   not   ''proper divisors''.   If   ''factors''   was intentionally used in this context,   the factors of   '''12'''   are:   '''1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12'''.   As such, both   (all, as of this time)   of the programming entries are wrong, ...   unless the task's author meant to use   ''proper divisors''   instead of   ''factors''.   In addition, this task (implies) that nice numbers are to be listed, whereas the other task only requires a programming solution to   ''count''   the three types of numbers within a range   (and not to list them).   I deferred to the other programming entry's output and mimicked it's output, but not the task's definition.   The definition for "nice numbers" will need to be re-defined or re-worded.   For instance;  

:::: '''N''' &nbsp; is a &nbsp; ''nice number'' &nbsp; if &nbsp; the sum of its factors is &nbsp; <big> > </big> &nbsp; '''2&times;N'''

: This new definition would make the '''REXX''' programming example correct, and make the '''RING''' programming example as partly incorrect in that it doesn't list the final factor &nbsp; ('''N''' &nbsp; in the list of factors). &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:52, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
