==Hailstone output==
Hi, I saw your comment ''"output isn't needed -- if you want that, run the program. But to satisfy the pedant here's the Windows output."'' and read again the task details as well as the context of the other examples showing output. The idea is to fulfil the task and you would be one of the few who took the opinion that reminding one of the need to show output in this case is pedantic. Maybe careful, but not [http://oxforddictionaries.com/view/entry/m_en_gb0614170#m_en_gb0614170 pedantic].
Most readers will not be able to run all examples, and the request to show output in some RC tasks has allowed us collectively to both spot errors in calculations, and also spot weaknesses in task descriptions. It can also show up differences in efforts to make the output pleasing to the eye (but not so much in the Hailstone task). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 22:33, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
