The task description needs to be complete, without needing chemistry knowledge. Describe how to perform the calculation; input format; data tables etc. Aim the task at those who know how to program but '''don't''' know chemistry, for example. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 18:01, 18 March 2019 (UTC) |

Might be an idea to specify an element symbol consists of one upper-case letter followed by 0, 1 or 2 lower-case letters, so CH4 is uniquely parsed as 1 atom of element H followed by 4 atoms of element C. |

(The symbols with two lower case letters are for systematic names of as yet unnamed elements, e.g. Ubn would be the symbol of element 120). |

Also (sorry to nit-pick but...) Carbon 12 has exactly 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 21:03, 18 March 2019 (UTC) |
