New submission from John Yeung: The math module docs state
Except when explicitly noted otherwise, all return values are floats. But math.factorial isn't what I would call explicit about returning int: math.factorial(x) Return x factorial. Raises ValueError if x is not integral or is negative. At minimum, shouldn't the first sentence be "Return x factorial as an int."? I haven't tested on all Python versions, but math.factorial on 2.7 and 3.2 definitely return int (or long in Python 2 when necessary). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 255382 nosy: John.Yeung, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: math.factorial doc should mention integer return type versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25735> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
