[Tutor] problem with simple script

[Luke Paireepinart]

Just do a split of the input from the user on space or comma. If Len() of the split data is 1, do your [1, ...] interval, otherwise do the other interval.

But often the closed interval is [1, m], so I'd like to not have to enter the 1 in those cases, and just enter, say, "37" to mean the interval [1, 37]. Highlighted lines 9-11 are my attempt to do this, but it fails. This seems like it should be so simple to do, but it isn't not for me. Advice, please.
