A CS 101 student apparently writes the most readable code.

Has time to think.

It's slower than the mathematician's, and does not handle all error cases. No wonder it looks cleaner.

Except it is not correct.

I like how both the student and the Startup hacker mess up bounds-checking, except the student doesn't realize it in the initial case, and the hacker misses it as the codebase gets progressively larger and he or she gets more tired.

I don't get it, what's incorrect about the code?

[dsego]

Try calling the function with 0 or a negative number.
