      Hey ChatGPT. I need you to walk through a for loop for me. Every time the loop completes I want you to say completed. I need the for loop to iterate off of a variable, n. I need the for loop to have an exit condition of n+1.

        Didn’t work. Output this:

        `# Set the value of n
        n = 5

        Create a for loop with an exit condition of n+1

        for i in range(n+1):
        # Your code inside the loop goes here
        print(f"Iteration {i} completed.")

        This line will be executed after the loop is done

        print(“Loop finished.”)`

        Interesting. The code format doesn’t work on Kbin.

          Interesting. The code format doesn’t work on Kbin.

          Indent the lines of the code block with four spaces on each line. The backtick version is for short inline snippets. It’s a Markdown thing that’s not well communicated yet in the editor.

          I think I fucked up the exit condition. It was supposed to create an infinite loops as it increments n, but always needs 1 more to exit.

            What if you just told it to exit on n = -1? If it only increments n, it should also go on forever (or, hell, just try a really big number for n)

              That might work if it doesn’t attempt to correct it to something that makes sense. Worth a try tbh.

          You need to put back ticks around your code `like this`. The four space thing doesn’t work for a lot of clients
