Nicole Patricia Mazzuca a03b676bed Fix count to actually _be_ a count
Also, start from 1 in the positive direction, instead of 5, since that
is more how the thing works (sorry, mathematician brain).

Additionally, adds some extra information in the comments:
information about how long the code would take if one actually sets
count to 2,5 * 10^12, and adding a plus in front of the 4/1 to show that
that is in fact the first element of the "plus" side.

Finally, add an (floating point) error to the debug print.

No Peeking! :-)

Welcome to the ziglings/patches directory. This is how ziglings is tested.

The patches fix the broken exercises so that they work again, which means the answers are here, so no peeking!

Éowyn

A Bash shell script named eowyn.sh dwells here. She heals the little broken programs and places them in a healed directory, which is NOT committed to the repo.

$ patches/eowyn.sh

(If you invoke her from elsewhere, she'll come here to ply her trade.)

The build.zig build script at the heart of Ziglings has a top-secret option which tells it to test from the patches/healed/ dir rather than exercises/:

$ zig build -Dhealed [step]

Éowyn tests all healed programs using this secret option.

Gollum

Another Bash shell script named gollum.sh may also be found. He snatches the original answers and stows them in his secret answers stash. If you leave him alone, he'll leave you alone.
