I remember how confused I was when I first encountered i=i+1... like, what 🤨? How can this be correct, this thing has to be wrong... and then you start seing the logic behind it and you're like "oooh, yeah, that seems to work... but still, this is wrong on almost every level in math"... and then you grow a bit older and realize that coding has nothing to do with math, instead it's got everything to do with problem solving. If you like to name your variables peach, grape, c*nt, you can, and if that helps you solve the problem, even better, just make it work, i.e. solve the problem 🤷.

Wait until you realize what math is all about

I think I do understand, but I'd rather embarres myself 😂.
