How should I handle questions which show the desired output in code, but not in writing?

I was watching and saw this post (revision referenced in this meta post), titled "Complex dictionary construction" (there are many similarly structured questions about regex and list comprehensions, this post is only an example). The question seems like it has some effort put into it:

  • It shows what they've tried
  • It shows the desired input and output

However, the title and body don't contain any actual description, in words, of what the asker is trying to do. My assumption would be that these posts aren't of any value, as I would think they could not be easily searched by other people.

Is this correct, and would I be right to try to close these sorts of posts (with Needs Details or Clarity?), or is no action necessary?
