[issue20740] Remove invalid number from squares in introduction section
Pavel Kazakov added the comment: (Alternatively, we could redefine squares in Python. All other languages just have the regular squares; Python has a super *extra* square 2! That clearly makes squares in Python *better* than squares in other languages...) Heh. I initially wasn't sure if I was just missing a super fancy feauture of Python, but I eventually concluded the 2 probably wasn't supposed to be there. In the name of making Python better, since π and -1 have already been proposed as additional squares, I vote for including the constant e as well. Fixed, thanks for the report and the patch! Great!

[issue20740] Remove invalid number from squares in introduction section
New submission from Pavel Kazakov: This is probably being nitpicky, but in the introduction section, the squares list include a 2: squares = [1, 2, 4, 9, 16, 25] However, 2 is not a square number (perfect square). So it should be: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] I've included a patch that removes the 2. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: fix_squares.patch keywords: patch messages: 211982 nosy: docs@python, nullishzero priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove invalid number from squares in introduction section type: enhancement Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34196/fix_squares.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue20740 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
