You want someone to answer a programming question within a particular set of boundaries, you set those boundaries.
- dllthomas 12y agoI don't think it has to be "wrong". If I were asking this question, and I was provided with "store them in a hash", I would say something along the lines of "that's a correct solution" and then add additional constraints. "How you adapt in the face of additional constraints" is very much relevant to programming.
