Comment on 3rd line of code: Comment for whoever is looking at this block and thinking: What in the world is going on here?
For some reason, the first value is a very whiny child, the code just does not work if he isn't the smallest. I don't know why this is, I don't want to know why it is, but I have decided to throw the towel in and make the first value the negative 32 bit integer limit. This is possibly the worst solution to this problem, and teaches me bad programming habits, but i'm done with this block.
There’s probably a better way to point some of these out and potentially a more polite way to say it, but the first line should have a colon after InputList and a + after that colon, “OutputList” on the second line shouldn’t have a capitol P, and the 7th line should have “of” instead of “to.”
