There might be one too many words here.:innocent:

My last race:

Pain
U-turn
Pain

i = 2;
j=4;
while (i != 0){
while (j != 0 {
turn right;
j--;
**

i--;
**

It's been a little while since I programmed, but isn't the i variable useless? It's just gonna do the while loop of j, which includes the turn right, and then it will escape that loop and do the i loop twice, but that loop doesn't appear to have a use.

My last was a TTT.

Pull.
soft pedal.
accelerate on.
accelerate when teammates can't take steady pulls.

repeat.

The i loop is completely useless. The first time through the i loop, the "turn right" line is executed 4 times and j is decremented each time. The second time through the i loop, j is already 0 so the j loop doesn't execute.

Basically there were 4 right turns.
