New submission from Yi Bai: Hi, I suppose there is a minor error in the example of the filter() function in 5.1.3 part of the document.
------------------------------------------------------------------ filter(function, sequence) returns a sequence consisting of those items from the sequence for which function(item) is true. If sequence is a string or tuple, the result will be of the same type; otherwise, it is always a list. For example, to compute a sequence of numbers not divisible by 2 or 3: >>> >>> def f(x): return x % 2 != 0 and x % 3 != 0 ... >>> filter(f, range(2, 25)) [5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23] ------------------------------------------------------------------ I think what the example does is "to compute a sequence of numbers not divisible by 2 and 3", not "2 or 3". ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 231149 nosy: docs@python, enchyisle priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Minor error in the example of filter() type: resource usage _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22868> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
