Line 9:
I see that many languages take the indices as a general collection (or array) instead of specifically as a set. If they're doing that, should they also be enforcing uniqueness of the indices before progressing with the rest of the sort? (To be exact, failing to do this gives wrong answers…) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 16:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:The task states that 6, 1, and 7 are given. I didn't want people to assume they got 1,6,7 in that order. I would therefore be inclined to not ''insist'' that a routine should also account for duplicates. (Although I had noted this addition in the TCL example which is fine). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 17:01, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
