Ah. This is why it's better to be more explicit about what your
question is than a mere "WTF?".
In that case, I believe you meant to write:
count += c.doit()
rather than:
count += c.doit(count)
Recall that count is continually increasing as you go through your loop.
Although you'll then get 11, not 10, but the cause of that is obvious
(`count += 1`).
Cheers,
Chris
