While loop question

Question

I wrote the following code to practice while loops, however I’m getting an unexpected answer for the number 5. I thought the code would print out "you can count that on one hand". Instead it’s outputting "you need two hands to count that many". Can someone explain why it’s the latter and not the former? The other numbers work as expected. Thanks.

Code:

i = 1
while i <= 10:
print(i)
i = i + 1

if i <= 5:
print("you can count that on one hand")

else:
print("you need two hands to count that many")

print("Great job!")

Answer 1

you are incrementing i before if,
so for 1. test you have i=2
then for 5. test you have i=6

move i = i + 1 after if else

Answer 2

That worked, thanks zemiak!
