Hi,

I am struggling to understand why the loop will never be encountered?

also I am correct in saying that this is bad practice to assert input value of a public method?

Thanks.

That is because the loop condition is i>0 but i is -4.

also I am correct in saying that this is bad practice to assert input value of a public method?

Yes, it is indeed a bad practice to check input parameters of a public method. But this question is not testing you on that concept. It will be covered in detail in other questions.

HTH,
