I can't tell whether this is sarcasm or not. What does the '<' mean in this case? I'm assuming an exclusive upper bound.



Is there any language where the meaning isn't immediately clear? I haven't seen a language that didn't differentiate between '<=' and '<'. The syntax of just '..' is a little unclear at first however, but it is simply a requirement of learning the language and the idioms
