Why does select * from @t returns 32 rows?
I expected it to return 28 rows only

Watch this part of the output:


(1 row(s) affected)


(1 row(s) affected)


(2 row(s) affected)


(4 row(s) affected)


(8 row(s) affected)


(16 row(s) affected)

See what is going on? David is doubling the number of rows he inserts
each time. That way the loops can run fewer iterations and be faster.
