Loops don't behave like they should

Setting a loop to fail due to choosing a variable size that is too small is a known issue in most languages. I’ve seen this in c, pascal, basic, etc… This is just something that a beginner programming class SHOULD have explained to you when discussing variable types and their ranges. This isn’t new…
