I'm coming from fortran and c background so I'm certainly biased by them. But if you could explain one thing to me:
in fortran for example: for i=1,n goes from 1,2,3,4,...,n in python for example: for i in range(1,n) goes from 1,2,3,4,...,n-1 (that is, it goes from 1 up to, but not including n) Why is that so ? What were the reasons for that "not including" part ? It troubles me greatly, and I cannot see it's advantages over the "standard" "up to and including" n.
