Are the names all that important for this task? The Tcl implementation uses different names rather than <tt>s_of_n_creator</tt> and <tt>s_of_n</tt> for purely syntactic reasons, yet it is clearly the same algorithm, same behavior. I suppose I could dress the stuff up with aliases so that it appears to have those names, but they'd not add anything (and might slow things down). –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 06:01, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 
: The task description is questionable. "Return a funciton" is not necessarily desirable or even possible for some languages, not to mention fixed function names. A names like "s_of_n" isn't all that descriptive to start with, and is patentedly against naming conventions in different languages, I don't see the point of sticking with them. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 03:01, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
