== Clarify! ==
As written, this task accomplishes absolutely nothing whatsoever. No functionality is mentioned or referenced. There's a pointer here on the discussion page to a gif file of a scan of an old article that does not specify any kind of algorithm whatsoever and no criteria for determining whether any piece of code is "valid" for this task.
The Knuth article touts a piece of code for testing something about the implementation of ADA compilers and thus any piece of code that does not compile as valid ADA <i>fails</i> the test as referenced.
The task description needs to be clarified at least to the point where the following question can be answered:
The BASIC one-liner: <tt>10 PRINT "-67"</tt> will output what appears to be "the correct result". Does that make it an entry for this task (I highly suspect it doesn't) and <i>why not?</i> [[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]] 17:05, 26 March 2008 (MDT)
=== Copyright issues ===
The fact that this page sprung into being with many language examples at once with code wrapped in <source> blocks makes me worry that the code was transwikied from somewhere like Literate Programs, which would be a copyright violation. Are you certain that you have permission to do this? (Hmm. I was going to point you at a Copyrights page, but I can't seem to find one.) --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 10:35, 18 December 2007 (MST)
