: 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) |

:It is an old task with many solutions; maybe rewording to include a start of zero ''or'' one would be better as the main idea of the task is the zig-zaggedness and starting from one or zero would still allow implementations to be compared? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 21:21, 24 January 2020 (UTC) |
