    Let \(n\) be a positive integer. Then a group \(G\) is an \(OC_ n\)-group if every element of \(G\) has order \(\leq n\) and for each \(m\leq n\) there exists an element of \(G\) having order \(m\). In this paper the complete classification of \(OC_ n\)-groups is given and in particular it is proved that we must have \(n\leq 8\).
