I've just been caught out with Intervals - why can't you do: 5 to: 1 do: [ :i | Transcript show: i printString] (eg a negative interval)?
if you want to iterate down a series of numbers do you really have to do: 5 to: 1 by: -1 do: [â¦
I always assumed that if x > y the step was automatically -1 (but its not).
Expectations are obviously personal, but as far as I am concerned, I'd expect to see the behavior that Pharo implements. If you don't specify by:, you get a default value of 1. That's much simpler than a default value depending on the bounds of the interval. Konrad.
