      Nah he’ll get a TypeError. Not seeing why, honestly…

      Unless you consider the merciless and systematic execution of all billionaires to be genocide…which I guess is technically fair…but it’s for a good cause! (…said every genocidist ever…)

      Of course, I changed the name of the iterable…

      And we’re talking about intro to compsci…getting a bit ahead of ourselves going right from loops to comprehension.

        He just called everyone in the population a billionaire and executed them without actually checking if they are in fact billionaires. Somewhat too close to reality in some scenarios for my taste…

        Nope, billionaire is a designator, not a discriminator. They’re iterating over population and decapitating everyone regardless of wealth. ;)

        It’s missing an if <someOtherDesignatorForPopulatioMember> in billionaires in the comprehension.
