If it was >= then v could take the v = 0 value in the condition and then you would indeed have a division by 0. Without the = sign, the condition goes to the else part and no division by zero is performed.

Wouldn't you encounter an error if n was out of range before you get to the else part?

@JohanWiltink - I figured you'd be more conscientious about the katas that you approve; seeing this one out of beta was an unexpected surprise. But now that the kata has been approved I take it we can trust you'll resolve the outstanding issues?

Old kata, you perfectly know how lax was the beta process some years ago. And you perfectly knew it wasn't matching the current "standards" either.

And yet it collected enough upvotes to become approvable. People like it. Who are you, or I, to destroy it?

just say it... x/
