::::::::: Maybe we could adopt a '''"show some ''suitable'' output unless the task explicitly says not to"''' practice for a good RC example? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 04:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 
== REXX Long Multiplication ==
Sorry for the re-addition of the comment, but it doesn't really matter that REXX does its multiplication on decimal
strings -- all languages with bignum supprt are doing the same thing too, they just happen to represent the numbers
with some base that is bigger than 10 (sometimes much bigger), but the basic algorithm is exactly the same there as
it is in REXX. Therefore, claiming that REXX already does this multiplication is something that could just as well
apply to any of these other languages too.
