Talk:Combinations with repetitions: Difference between revisions

Line 100:

::I think the task descriptions are equivalent but the old J solution confuses me as it shows fixed repetitions of items, where I read the WP article and the description given as needing only the n types of allowable items - any kind of repetition (or omission), is allowed just so long as only k are chosen at once. Yep, it doesn't help that the wp article is hard to read :-)

::: If you go back and look at the original entry, you will see that the original java code worked the same way as the old J example. But that code was deleted for copyright reasons and when it was deleted, the associated examples were also deleted, which makes talking about that issue a bit confusing. But, anyways, we have two tasks here: one based on a common interpretation of the wording of the original task description and another based on the original examples. Without those examples, the original task description does not distinguish between these two cases. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:15, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
