Question 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...

Comment Post #287054 @#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...

Comment Post #286989 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).

Comment Post #287054 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.

Comment Post #286602 > > * Assuming that things like memory allocation are handled by the caller might give contributions an unfair advantage > 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 ...

Comment Post #286602 > 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.

Comment Post #286602 > 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.
