No, you just need to tell us what the code is _intended_ to do, since
that will affect how it can best be represented in an implementation.

An actual implementation includes both intended behaviour and 
incidental behaviour, but without knowing which is which any translation
of the implementation to a different language or environment will be
awkward.
