The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

thinking about iterating over a set of item


You are thinking about the wrong set. While you can iterate over the items with a forEach, your code is not doing this. Your code loops over a range from 0 to the length of your (empty) set (0).

My first thought when I encounter a range based set generating construct in a language is always "which if either (or both!) of the bounds is inclusive". You can test this with a quick implementation of the languages version of the following:

XML
for value in 1 to 3
    print value
done
