:: I wasn't sure whether the problem was the extra digit or the comma but I knew you'd soon sort it out :) As you say, there are probably not many languages which can identify a string of digits with thousand separators as being numeric without further ado. Kotlin certainly can't. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 18:37, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
==MathmaticaMathematica vs Wolfram Language==
(Changed a word in the talk section title from '''Mathmatica''' to '''Mathematica'''.)     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:38, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

If you meant &nbsp; '''Mathematica''', &nbsp; then yes, the &nbsp; '''24 game''' &nbsp; is included in the count for &nbsp; '''Mathematica'''. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:09, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 
 
Line 165 ⟶ 167:
If someone with god-like powers would make an executive decision to use one over the other, I suppose someone would write a script to change all the uses of one computer programming language into the other, or I could special case this specific example &nbsp; (for the REXX programming entry) &nbsp; into just simply combining those two programming entries into one, &nbsp; much like the way it currently handles different spellings of a small number of computer programming languages that are spelled differently, or use different glyphs the express the small programming language. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:57, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 
This decision would be similar of using &nbsp; '''PL/I''' &nbsp; instead of &nbsp; '''PL/1'''; &nbsp; Each computer programming entry for &nbsp; '''PL/1''' &nbsp; was changed "by hand" to &nbsp; '''PL/I'''. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:29, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 
I prefer the global script change method &nbsp; (or by hand), &nbsp; as this will help consolidate the computer programming language name and would have less confusion to those that think that the two programming languages are distinct entities. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:03, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 
I just noticed that some Rosetta Code tasks that have &nbsp; '''Mathematica''' &nbsp; also have (in conjunction) &nbsp; '''Wolfram Language''' &nbsp;
<br>(in the same &nbsp; <big> <nowiki> =={{header|Mathematica / Wolfram Language}}== </nowiki> </big> &nbsp; header).
 
In that case, each specified language would have it's '''members''' count to be included, so that it appears that in this case, it can appear as double-counting &nbsp; (in a global total sense). &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:59, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 
Also, as a by-product of having two computer programming languages specified in the
<br>&nbsp; <big> <nowiki> =={{header|Mathematica / Wolfram Language}}== </nowiki> </big> &nbsp; header, &nbsp; it would appear like there was an entry for each of the two languages specified, thus my comment about double counting. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:04, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

RC POP.OUT is a count of ''categories'' '''not''' ''programming solutions''.
 
BTW, there are 639 languages with at least one solution on the site. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 00:16, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
