Category: Documentation Group: Not a Bug >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 3 Submitted By: Andrina Kelly (andrina) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Error in section 4.2 of Python Tutorial Initial Comment: The example in section 4.2 of the on-line tutorial should read as follows: >>> # Measure some strings: ... a = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate'] >>> for x in a: ... print x, len(a) ... cat 3 window 6 defenestrate 12 currently the print line has len(x) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2005-05-04 08:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Sorry, this is correct as is. I'm not sure why you would think that len(a) is appropriate. That would give the length of the list which is always equal to three. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1194209&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
