Line 8:
:Binary, Octal, Hexadecimal and Decimal are special cases, because they are sometimes handled natively from within the language, and sometimes they are not. A conversion task is not ideal for tasks that have native support, and a requirement for native support is not ideal for languages that do not have such a facility. These bases require their own sets of tasks. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 17:43, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
::I don't understand the differences that you're talking about. "The results can be achieved using builtin radix functions within the language..." which is part of [[Non-decimal radices/Output]], "or a user defined function can be utilized" which is part of [[Non-decimal radices/Convert]]. Neither is exactly the same, but the parts are in both, and I don't see what this task adds to them. I need a better explanation of the differences. What would be better is a demonstration of this task in a language that is also implemented in both the other tasks. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 17:48, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
