I noticed that many implementations don't run the loop 9.5 times. Instead a check is made whether the comma has to be printed. This way the loop still runs exactly 10 times, with a different action taken depending on the loop variable.

- Notice the quotes around n+1/2 showing that it's not literally n+1/2 times, but rather the last time through only part of the work is done. Running the loop 9.5 times isn't a requirement, but if you can get your language to do it then go for it. --Mwn3d 21:09, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
