:::Again, the purpose of rosette code is to demonstrate how languages are similar and different. There may be several approaches to a task. I think if you have several approaches on one task you illustrate the differences in the ways that the task is approached, rather than the differences in the languages. If the approaches are different, the readers may be thinking "Hmmm, he used a different technique. I wonder if the other technique works too...". It would probably be better to state the technique being illustrated, and just place notes against the languages where that technique cannot be used. Again IMHO.

:I re-worded the task to make the use of a conditional loop advisory rather than mandated; to cater for any language whose idiomatic solution might be different. If too many hate it then it can just as easily be reverted, but I'm with Michael on this so far, I don't think it should be a demonstrator for conditional loops - I'd prefer it as a simple game with a hint at implementation. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 21:23, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
