Ah. Of course. First, j++ is not equivalent to j+1. It is the equivalent of j = j+1.

The reason you only got half the paragraphs in my version is because each time around the loop the story got shorter by one paragraph and while j went up one, myStory.paragraphs.length came down by one. And so they met half way through the story -- hmm, this is starting to sound like Gerard Hoffnung's famous speech to the Oxford Union.

But in your version, j never changed and so when myStory.paragraphs.length reached zero, the loop stopped.
