| Jun 22, 2012 at 18:45 | comment | added | slhck | No, I think this can stand as its own. It should have probably been a comment if the OP had had 50 reputation to leave one. There can even be multiple approaches even using just one tool. | |
| Jun 22, 2012 at 18:42 | comment | added | killermist | In the question I linked, would you consider the second answer with printf to be a duplicate of the first and answer with printf? In looking at it, once printf is identified as a tool that could solve the problem, then I personally think the semantics of including "%s" to format, or not is not sufficiently different for it to be a completely new answer and the first should have been edited/commented instead. Would you consider it to be a duplicate? | |
