We need at least two doctests. One that returns True and one that returns False. We need to defined what a loop is. Is a loop just the same value twice in a row? Would 1, 2, 1, 2 be a loop?

This explanation is still unclear to me. What is a null in this context?

Hey @kanthuc,
Something went wrong with the build.

TravisCI finished with status errored, which means the build failed because of something unrelated to the tests, such as a problem with a dependency or the build process itself.
