:My question is - should there be a C entry that describes the situation with the rand() function of its standard library or not?
:: There should definitely be a C entry, because so many others defer to it, but, I thought that the C implementations were likely to vary on different platforms, (which, if true, should also be noted)? The (good), thing about C is that it is used everywhere, including in embedded systems, and many C environments only approach the spec of a standardization effort --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:19, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Probably needs more work. Feel free to massage! –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 16:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
: Not much massaging done, just added some WP links. Ta! --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 04:06, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
== R- shows up under tasks not implemented ==
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Reports:Tasks_not_implemented_in_R shows that this is not implemented in R, but it is.
How can I fix this?
: Seems you hit a caching issue. That page is updated on-demand, but only once every 15 minutes at most (Otherwise, the server wouldn't be able to handle the load). I just looked at it, and it looks fine. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:45, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
: Some browsers cache things themselves for longer than others. Some corporate caches are pernicious swines when it comes to caches too. Oh well. (Hitting Shift-Reload sometimes works. Clearing the browser cache sometimes works. Giving it a rest and returning in 15 minute might work too.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 14:55, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
== ALGOL 68 ==
The ALGOL 68 entry seems to state what properties a RNG should have, but doen't seem to state what algorithm is used or, conversely, if any RNG satisfying the constraints can/is used. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
