gollark: I see.
gollark: Was this not deducible from the fact that it worked without your changes anyway?
gollark: Don't add 1 at the end. You can see that your first one works without it so *why*?
gollark: After i += 1 occurs it'll just do that and your change will be ignored.
gollark: Every iteration of the loop it calls next() on the range object returned from range() and binds the return value of that to the variable i.
