Line 61: When reading Loops/Downward, [https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Loops/Downward_for#Plain_English Loops Downward], I stumbled over the initial value being 11. Should be 10, I guess. Or do I miss something? Best regards. [[User:Cg\|Cg]] ([[User talk:Cg\|talk]]) 13:39, 10 Dec 2020 (CET) :<code>If a counter is past a number</code> is a decider (boolean function) ~~defined in the noodle~~ that looks like this: :<lang plainenglish>To decide if a counter is ~~past~~below a number: ~~Add~~Subtract 1 tofrom the counter. If the counter is ~~greater~~less than the number, say yes. Say no.</lang> :So it ~~adds~~subtracts 1 tofrom the counter before performing the comparison. This often works out nicely but it can make some things awkward. One could just as easily make a version that performs the comparison first and then adds one to the counter on the way out, or avoid using a routine like this altogether. :When reading a routine like this, it's important to keep in mind that all values are passed by reference (by default) in Plain English. --[[User:Chunes\|Chunes]] ([[User talk:Chunes\|talk]]) 13:57, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
