:: I added an '''output''' section for the 3<sup>rd</sup> REXX example (for the run-time requirement). It does make this simple task a wee (or just a wee-wee) bit harder to read and understand the underlying program structure/logic; for one thing, you now have to show the user's input(s) (console/terminal/command line/parameters). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:20, 24 February 2017 (UTC) |
