::::This was recently added: "Your program should also check each input is correctly formed, especially with respect to valid characters allowed in a SEDOL string." --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 17:04, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:::::I disagree with this addition and may remove it. I created the initial task and this wasn't in scope -- some people may've implemented it for extra credit, but that doesn't mean everyone has to. The addition requirement breaks most of the existing solutions. [[User:DanBron|DanBron]] 17:12, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 
::::Hi Danbron; why the change? It seems a good extension to the task, to make it reject badly formed SEDOLs, as a lot of money could ride on its correctness. How about adding the checking as a "stretch goal" to the task? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:50, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
