Talk:File extension is in extensions list: Difference between revisions

== Programs violating the first sentence? ==

The first sentence of the task indicates that the extensions must include the dot. Several entries have "" in the list of extensions, which does not have a dot, and seems to indicate a desire to count filenames without extensions as if they had an extension, which I can understand, but it's technically in violation of the task. In the P6 solution I just treated extension-less files as a third option, outside the bounds of the question of whether the extension (if present) is a member of the listed extensions. Should the solutions containing "" as a putative extension be asked to fix that? Or should the task allow extensions that do not begin with "."? The latter interpretation of the task seems somewhat problematic to me. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] ([[User talk:TimToady|talk]]) 00:44, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
