The : simply allows putting two statements on one line.

My response

YOU MADE a really important step towards the full understanding of my routine. CARRY ON OMU!

What values did you obtain for n=20?

OMU:

THE FIRST THING TO MAKE when one et a suspiciously wrong program is TO RUN IT.
If the results ARE NOT CONFORMABLE TO WHAT THEORY OR PUBLISHED VALUES SAY, then we try to understand it and find where is wrong.
YOU MADE NOTHING IN THIS PARTICULAR.

The program has the inputs
____________n
____________all

Try , for example n=20 and all=1000000.
Read the results and compare them with the 95% and 99% quantiles in the Connover´s Tables (if you has not this text-book I put down them: 0.190, 0.231).

The fact that you are unable to understand something Proves NOTHING that it is confuse. EVER.
