OBOE

Acronym standing for Off By One Error. Commonly used in the Computation Science field to indicate a bit of code (often a bad for loop) that will produce a result that is off by one.

//count to ten

for(i = 1 ; i < 10 ; i++)
{
System.out.println(i);
}

//This bit of code will produce 123456789 and leave off the ten. Hence, an OBOE.
