for number in 1..<10 excludes 10. However, doing 1<..10 to exclude 1 does not work. How does one do that?

There is no way of excluding the first value like the last, afaik. One thing you can do, though, is

for number in 1+1...10

The first value is just the starting point, the final value the end point. It's possible to do

for counter 2...10 { println(counter) }

I would say always go for the ...(triple dot) type, as it makes it easier for you understand the range! Though its just me :)
