fencepost error n.   1. [common] A problem with the discrete    equivalent of a boundary condition, often exhibited in programs by    iterative loops.   From the following problem: "If you build a fence    100 feet long with posts 10 feet apart, how many posts do you need?"    (Either 9 or 11 is a better answer than the obvious 10.)   For    example, suppose you have a long list or array of items, and want to    process items m through n; how many items are there?   The obvious    answer is n - m, but that is off by one; the right answer is n - m +    1.   A program that used the `obvious' formula would have a fencepost    error in it.   See also {zeroth} and {off-by-one error}, and note    that not all off-by-one errors are fencepost errors.   The game of    Musical Chairs involves a catastrophic off-by-one error where N    people try to sit in N - 1 chairs, but it's not a fencepost error.    Fencepost errors come from counting things rather than the spaces    between them, or vice versa, or by neglecting to consider whether    one should count one or both ends of a row.   2. [rare] An error    induced by unexpected regularities in input values, which can (for    instance) completely thwart a theoretically efficient binary tree or    hash table implementation.   (The error here involves the difference    between expected and worst case behaviors of an algorithm.)
