Talk:Smith numbers

task output

Instead of finding (and I presume, display) all the Smith numbers below 10,000,
to reduce the amount of data display, how about just displaying all the Smith
numbers below 1,000, and then also just show the   count   of Smith numbers below 10,000?   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 03:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Then, for optional credit, show the count of Smith numbers below 100,000 and
also 1 million.   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 03:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

task output requirements

It wasn't specifically asked for (in the task's requirements),   but it's usually a
a good thing for the programming entries to show their output   (if feasible),
and also make the Rosetta Code task's output requirements unambiguously known.   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 03:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

However, showing all Smith numbers below 10k is pushing it, especially if all
the programming entries choose to show their output.   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 03:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

task wording

In the phrase in the task's definition preamble:

the sum of digits of its prime factors excluding 1

isn't the text       excluding 1       redundant as unity will never be a prime factor   (by definition).   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 03:26, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
