| Feb 2, 2011 at 18:24 | comment | added | FrustratedWithFormsDesigner | @delnan: I agree. Off-by-one errors are usually the first to be caught when I'm coding (before I even move to an official "testing phase"). | |

| Feb 2, 2011 at 18:16 | comment | added | user7043 | Are they common? I'm producing my fair share of bugs, but off-by-one errors are very rarely among them. Perhaps because I mostly use Python, i.e. use iterators instead of juggling with indices? (And: What does that tell us? ;) ) | |
