::Hi Paul, I'll work on the description, but on the use of \: I couldn't think of a way to include a quote in a quoted string without it - I am open to sugestions though. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 11:11, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:::That's the point when I use UNICODE quotes. Thankfully they're easy to type on this keyboard. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 12:26, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
::Why quoted strings? Why not just enter the example input as plain text? In real world applications, the data would came from user, or from file, or from stdin, etc. Normally, the text is just plain text, with no quotes or escape characters. (Of course the test code that calls the actual function could use string constants, but that is language and implementation specific.) On the other hand, using two input lists would be quite strange way to enter data in real world. It would be more logical to enter the name and remark together, as a pair. (But I don't quite understand what this "remark" is supposed to be.) --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]] 15:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
