Talk:Rep-string

Inspiration

The task was inspired by this question on stackoverflow. --Paddy3118 (talk) 19:45, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

The task needs some clarifation. What is a repeat? Is string "10" itself repeated once? Is string "101" a repeat of "10"? When finding a repeated substring "if any", what's the preferred answer for "1111", is it "1" or "11", or even "111" and "1111"? There needs be a clear definition of the word "repeat", not just relying on whatever the first sample solution says, beause can be too arbitrary. --Ledrug (talk) 03:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
