Programming Challenge: Letter frequency

• limmeau 17y ago
  What can we learn from this challenge? - decide what your benchmark shall cover and what not (computation? I/O? startup time?) - publish compiler version and compiler options - if the benchmark involves disk i/o, start with disk cache in a defined state (full, empty) - avoid ambiguities in the specification ("case insensitive" -- but in which encoding? Latin-1?)

    Yes. It is always good practice to involve more than one person when defining specifications for anything.
