If you had a function called "add_numbers(x, y)", you would say that x and y are the numbers which are to be added. If you have a function called "add_vectors(u, v)", then u and v are the vectors to be added. Perhaps this example will help: u = [1, 10, 100] v = [2, 11, 111] add_vectors(u, v) => [3, 21, 211] -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
