Talk:Sum multiples of 3 and 5

What is the intent of the task?

• The "sum of" does not mean the same as the "count of" numbers. Which does the author intend?
• Second, the description should say "positive integers" if that is what is intended, because there are an infinite number of negative integers below 1000.
• Third, "below" doesn't include 1000, so maybe it should say "not greater than"?

The reading of the task where:

• Sum means sum and not count.
• It is taken to mean positive integers.
• Below means up to, but not including.

...happens to have REXX and Python solutions following TimToady's Perl 6 lead. I quite liked that interpretation. If the task moves away from this, could we create a another task to preserve this interpretation? --Paddy3118 (talk) 17:26, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the task to be consistent with the (current) majority interpretation. --TimToady (talk) 17:38, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
