: However, the relevant output text string should be strictly adhered to as that's the task requirements. As in a real world example, the name of the game ... er, task, is to do what the requirement(s) specifiy, not what the name of the task is. If the task is to display a specific mixed uppercase/lowercase text with punctuation (and in this case, in direct contradiction to the task's name), then that's what's to be displayed/shown. We all know to shutdown a Microsoft Windows system, you have to click on '''Start''' first. --- And having wallpaper on a desktop, ... there're way too many examples of oxymoronic procedures/methods/names/requirements/etc. Many of the Rosetta Code program examples got this very simple task wrong, either by the wrong words, case, and/or punctuation.

:: Both sound fine. But I would avoid "fixing" implementations for languages you are not familiar with (since some languages implement special characters in strings and assuming a special character would be treated literally would be bad -- granted, the chances of any of the characters here being special is low, but there's no point fixing something if you cannot know if your fix is correct). --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
