Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In section 15.12.2.4 of the Java Language Specification, Third Edition, the third bullet from the bottom should read "For 1 <= i < n" instead of "For 1 <= i <= n". The requirements for the nth argument are different, and covered by the next bullet.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Comments
EVALUATION This is a bug in the HTML conversion - the JLS3 PDF is correct. This is the only time in 15.12.2.x where 1<=i<n is needed rather than 1<=i<=n.
