Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Gleeson (jgleeson) >Assigned to: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Summary: incorrect description of range function Initial Comment: The description of the behavior of the range function http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-56 for negative values of step appears to be incorrect: "if step is negative, the last element is the largest start + i * step greater than stop." This implies that the last element is 'start'. I think it should say 'smallest' instead of 'largest'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-08-03 09:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Correct.
