Line 3:
in the last iteration one executes only part of the loop body
:Notice the quotes around n+1/2 showing that it's not literally n+1/2 times, but rather the last time through only part of the work is done. Running the loop 9.5 times isn't a requirement, but if you can get your language to do it then go for it. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 21:09, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
==Task name doesn't make sense?==
You are asked to print the numbers one to ten with separating commas. Surely n == 10. And so you want to go through a loop doing the same thing n minus one, i.e 9 times; then do something else the n'th time through the loop, as many of the examples do.
A more correct name might be '''"Loop/n minus one half"''', but even better might be '''"Looping with a different action on the last iteration"''' - its not as twee, but more accurate? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:10, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
