I used it primarily because it mirrored my thinking; I don't know what that says about me! That's how I've often implemented the trinary operator. I would have used sign = '-' if n<0 else '' But I'm still on Python 2.4. I guess sign = (n<0) and '-' or '' is the pre-2.5 idiom, but I find that even less clear. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
