Talk:MD5/Implementation: Difference between revisions

Line 39:
:::Ok... in this case, the code was in the library. It was the downloadable library (roughly analogous to CPAN in character, though much smaller in scale than CPAN and much faster to install because there is no need for a build nor test phase at install time). And I am just as confused now as I was before, about what this means in terms of presentation. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 01:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
:::: Presentation is going to depend on the task. If the task disallows deferring the core requirement to a library (generally, it shouldn't, but for some cases it's worthwhile. In those cases, a version of the task that defers to libraries is generally desired.), then the example solving the task should have the code specific to the task problem shown. If the task allows deferring the core requirement to a library (this is the default, as far as I'm concerned; where deferment is disallowed, it needs to be explicitly stated), then all that's needed is showing how to use the library for the purpose. If that doesn't answer your question, I'm not certain what you mean. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 02:01, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:::: Currently, the task says:
:::::* An implementation taken from a native source library and shown (in detail) on this site is acceptable.
:::: however, based on the comments in this section, I imagine that that should be changed to
::::* An implementation taken from a native source library is acceptable only if it is shown (in detail) on this site.
::::Or am I completely off base here? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 12:44, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
