== The first N squared integers ==
Integers start at minus a very big number. So this is not what the task description means. Positive integers start at 1, this would be my preferred requirement, but many already start at zero which is neither positive nor negative. The task description needs correction.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 13:55, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
: I agree wholeheartedly. Or, as one often votes on Rosetta Code, '''+1'''. I also have brought up more than a few similar arguments before, as in ''' ''a positive integer > 0'',''' or ''' ''a positive integer'',''' and then use a '''0''' (zero) in the example input for the task. It's an uphill battle, not the least of which is when a '''number''' is used when an '''integer''' is meant. I have since stopped pointing out the obvious, ya can't win when ya argue with people who buy ink by the barrel. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:46, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
