Most (all?) solutions shown so far rely on the number of items (10) being known. Rexx version 3 does not! --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 09:43, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
: Indeed, and most languages allow that sequence of characters ('10') to be replaced by another sequence of characters (perhaps 'x') and also provide a substitution mechanism that allow you to specify (in another context) what value to use for your new symbol.
:Some people would even claim that this concept of substitution is the basis of computer programming. (Others, more practical, would get on with whatever they feel they need to do.) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 13:17, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
