I wrote it but I can just imagine people's eyes glazing over. Maybe there is a simpler or more accessible way to convey the same information? [[User:Zelah|Zelah]] ([[User talk:Zelah|talk]]) 05:19, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

: A usual way to deal with dense description is to show an example. Another is to describe it from a different perspective, or a second time, consciously choosing different words (some tasks here go overboard and specify specific algorithms - sometimes to the detriment of the task, but that's another issue). If that gets too involved, another variant includes a reference to some off-site material (often we use wikipedia). Many tasks here include specific cases - in fact, many tasks require specific examples be illustrated for some more general code. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 05:48, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
