Line 45:
:::*"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?"
:::If these things can't be done then it's a different story. You said there is no "core problem," which would have been a helpful statement when Sgeier first asked for a clarified description. If that is true, then I think it should be at least noted. I don't think it is, though. You also mentioned nested subroutines and variables from different stack frames. If these are required for the task then they should be listed as a task description. I asked before "What characteristics are in a man or boy test program?" Make a list of things that are required and post it. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 08:03, 28 March 2008 (MDT)
No one here will start the list, so I'm trying on my own. From looking at a few posts I found in various places (wikipedia not included), I think at least these things are required for the test:
*variables in different stack frames
*nested subroutines
*mutable references
*state monads (an explanation of monads is [[monads|still wanted]] on this site)
*recursive function calls
*call-by-ref and call-by-value functions
Are any of these wrong and are there any more requirements?
=== 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)
