Nov 13, 2015 at 7:14 comment added El'endia Starman I like this challenge idea. Regarding the "arbitrarily large floating point numbers" bit, maybe it would be better to restrict input to valid cases so you don't have to worry about passing in too large (2^100) or too small (2^-100) numbers.

Aug 27, 2014 at 13:12 comment added Peter Taylor I think you used the correct term: my point is that floating point support should be irrelevant. This is an easy task even for languages like BF which don't have any data types except integers. If you want to place bounds on the size of the input, I would bound it at 255 characters and include a 255-character test case.
Aug 27, 2014 at 11:56 comment added NinjaBearMonkey @PeterTaylor I don't understand floating point numbers too well, so I may have used the wrong term. I meant to refer to any number with a decimal point (like 23.391).
Aug 27, 2014 at 6:55 comment added Peter Taylor Why the bit about floating point numbers? Anyone who doesn't process the string directly is highly likely to have bugs due to the impossibility of exactly representing powers of 0.1 in binary.
