Is the fix as simple as adding the word "floor" before "division" in the "equivalent to division by [...]" phrase? > A right shift by n bits is equivalent to floor division by pow(2, n) without > overflow check. This text was probably written before // was introduced; maybe we can rewrite in terms of //? "x >> n" should be identical to "x // pow(2, n)" for any nonnegative "n". I confess that I've no idea what the "without overflow check" bit means, but I suspect it's no longer relevant post int/long-unification. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39301> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
