Line 31:
 
BASIC does not have "recursion and non-local references" and so the task cannot be coded in BASIC. Kind of like trying to represent π (pi) as a Fraction. The ADA version works fine for me. [[User:60.52.12.85|60.52.12.85]] 05:04, 28 March 2008 (MDT)
:You seem to forget what I've said already. "Don't hope that people can decode the task from other languages." What needs to be in a task description are ''words'' '''explaining''' what to do. What characteristics are in a man or boy test program? How are they arranged? I should be able to code it in a language that I know (and a language where it's possible to code it) without any other examples on the page. I just don't understand how you can think that and explanation of what the man or boy test is for is an adequate task description. I shout because of absurdity. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 06:30, 28 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)
