Talk:FizzBuzz: Difference between revisions

 

:: I also disagree --- ''only keeping the one(s) showing the language in best light should be kept''   --- is very subjective, who is able to say that other versions are kinda OK, but MY version is the bestus and shows off the language better than the others   (possibly implying that the quality of other versions aren't up to scratch).   But putting the joking aside, each version (most likely) demonstrates how to do a very simple task in different ways, I prefer simplicity (for understanding) and easy expandability (such as possibly adding a   '''Jazz'''   option for multiples of 7   and/or others --- for instance).   Just because the requirements are so simplistic, it doesn't mean that we have to prune the examples down to a couple (or whatever number).   Besides, it's not like they are consuming a vast amount of space.   I think each example shows how to solve the task using different approaches (or algorithms).   Once we start pruning computer programming examples, where does it stop? --- And who does the pruning?   Who gets to decide that one version isn't that much different than another?   Certainly, a few comments in the code (or prologue) would help immensely for some of the "trickier" and/or obtuse algorithms (or heaven help us all, obfuscated code) --- but then I'm not a huge fan of code golf (albeit, sometimes it's hard to distinguish between   ''shortness of code''   and;   ''concise code'') --- although it seems that there are a lot of examples that seem to preach that idea (as demonstrated by the number of programming examples in the various Rosetta Code tasks).   Of course, it's possible that my observations are somewhat jaded a bit. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:33, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
