Rationalise recurring binary Given a potentially recurring binary string, output the number it represents, as a fraction in lowest terms. The notation used in this challenge for recurring digits is non-standard. An `r` is used to indicate that the remaining digits recur. For example, `0.000r10` means the last 2 digits recur, ...

| Question | — |
Is there a problem with the edit queues? I'm raising this on our local Meta first, rather than the main Codidact Meta, because I don't yet have the Edit Posts ability so I can't tell what problems may exist. Hopefully some of you who have this ability will be able to confirm whether there are any bugs / feature requests that should be raise... (more) |

@#56533 if it affects your perspective, some languages allow passing an anonymous function as a function argument, or returning an anonymous function as a return value. This allows another part of the program to call the anonymous function without ever having to name it.
This is common with lambda... (more) |

I've just realised that the new clearer output specification, and example, invalidate the [existing answer](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/286989/286993#answer-286993) (it gives the output shown in my previous comment, which you have now explained is not valid). Just mentioning in case this affe... (more) |

This has been mentioned previously on Meta in [Rules for function submissions](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/286366/286367#answer-286367) if either of you want to vote/comment/answer in that discussion.
Current voting seems to suggest that anonymous functions are acceptable. (more) |

I'm not sure how to interpret this. If a fixed size input argument (such as a 32 bit integer) is modified, there is no need for memory allocation as it already exists. If ... (more) |

> Some languages separate subroutines (do not return a value) from functions (returns a value)
In such a language I would see a subroutine that modifies an input argument as a valid submission, unless the challenge explicitly requires a function. I agree that a challenge that requires a function r... (more) |

> Not all languages support pass by reference
I don't see this as a reason to prevent its use by languages that do support it. There are many ways that languages differ and restricting the particular advantages that each language has seems to remove the benefit of allowing submissions in different... (more) |

I don't know which way to vote on this one.
> Therefore, interpreting a challenge asking for a return value as "return through parameter" is creating a local code golf dialect of the language
I see this Meta discussion as establishing defaults. Any challenge is free to override the defaults and... (more) |
