::Hi, sometimes we do get duplicate tasks. Would you point out which other task(s) are the same as this one? Thanks. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
:::These tasks: [[vector products]], [[Matrix multiplication]], [[Matrix transposition]], [[Matrix-exponentiation operator]], [[Quaternion type]], and the current one, all do pretty much the samething: represent something probably with an array, and do simple math to it. They are not exact dupes per se, but doing all of them would seriously be a duplicate of effort. Quaternion is a arguable, but all the others could have been put in the same place--I mean, what next, a task to "Display Each Element of a Matrix"? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 21:44, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::RC does have tasks that are ''near'' duplicates, especially at the more mundane level. RC also tries to categorise those tasks and flag/remove duplicates. Speaking as just one member of a community, I personally wouldn't vote to try and remove the tasks you mention and replace them with a composite task. I might however vote for a rename of ''some'' to Matrix/Multiplication, Matrix/Transposition, Matrix/Exponation operator; which can make things a little tidier. (Like the Sorting algorithms/... tasks)
::Often tasks are kept small to encourage new contributors and contributions: people have a finite time to spend and might feel prompted to contribute whole examples if the task encourages short examples. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 00:58, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
