Line 37:
:The task assumes that it gets correctly formatted ranges that expand to an ''increasing'' series of different integers. I know that this most likely would not be the case 'in the real world', but we just need to have comparable examples, and it is convenient to miss out input validation steps.--[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:08, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 
== Alpha Numeric Ranges ====
Would it be possible with the Alpha numeric range expansions also?
Like A-D results A,B,C,D
Line 45:
 
:And of course, what about ABC-Aef (where upper and lower case letters have different ordering depending upon the underlying hardware [ASCII vs. EBCDIC]). And whose alphabet do we use? Any why would ''that'' particular alphabet be used? Once you start using such things (words), how does one handle a word with a dash in it? Jack-in-the-box springs to mind.

==Comment from TXR example==
Just to note that although the TXR parser may allow for null ranges, the task description language does not. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 00:25, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
