:There seems to be another problem with this task, as I see it: |
|||
In traditional interpolation characters and variables are represented by a notation within the string, but I notice that some solutions are calling a substitution routine from within the language. This is really "substitution", rather than "interpolation". Iterpolation is implicit, whereas substitution is explicit (blimey that probably sounds more confusing - huh). Maybe the following examples clarify. |
|||
* "Mary had a $type lamb." # This is interpolation (not substitution) |
|||
* replace "type" with "little" in the string "Mary had a type lamb" # This is substitution (not interpolation) |
|||
Also what does the (included) bit mean in the task title? |
|||
I suggest we knock this task back to draft and sort out the description. |
