New submission from Dominik V. <dominik.vilsmeier1...@gmail.com>:
The paragraph about [How do I convert a string to a number?](https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#how-do-i-convert-a-string-to-a-number) contains the following sentence: > By default, these interpret the number as decimal, so that `int('0144') == > 144` and `int('0x144')` raises ValueError. The first part however doesn't raise an error. Most likely octal notation was meant, i.e. `int('0o144') == 144`. For consistency with the `int('0x144')` part one could also omit the equality comparison, i.e. just write `int('0o144')`. In order to emphasize that the "and" is not part of the code (though this should be displayed by the browser) once could also write: > [...] so that _both_ `int('0o144')` and `int('0x144')` raise ValueError.
