Shouldn't it display 9 numbers instead ?

<!-- the numbers on the left are 0 - 9 (counter < 10) and the numbers on the right are the number of times the loop is ran -->
0 - 1
1 - 2
2 - 3
3 - 4
4 - 5
5 - 6
6 - 7
7 - 8
8 - 9
9 - 10
hope that helps!!

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ==> 10 numbers.
I've done that a few times... we just have to remember that zero is a number. :)
