minus-squareoutdated_belatedlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 years agoNah, look at the implementation above: n <= 4 Means it’s inclusive. You’re probably referring to some other implementation that doesn’t involve such fine control, like Python where range(4) means [0 1 2 3]
minus-squareradix@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoOh yeah, I meant generally. Isn’t it most common if not best practice to say for (i = 0; i < whatever; i++)?
