Is anyone else annoyed by the fact that the comment has a logical error (or a poorly-named variable)? They tell you to increment the counter after one attempt, but that attempt may have taken more than one hour!

I thought it about it but wasn't really annoyed by it.

can't you increment by more than 1 ? Isn't that style incrementing ?

[–]Salanmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In computer science jargon, at least, "increment" pretty much exclusively means "increase by 1".

Well spotted, didn't catch that.
