New submission from Thomas Cavalli <thomaspcava...@gmail.com>:
The Division (/) section example uses the commented variable "result" without it being defined. I am counting 4 numbers, (5.6667, 5, 2, 17), that are called result. The correct result can be implied but its poor documentation. So, either change: >>> 17 // 3 # floor division discards the fractional part to >>> result = 17 // 3 # floor division discards the fractional part or change: >>> 5 * 3 + 2 # result * divisor + remainder to >>> 5 * 3 + 2 # floor * divisor + remainder I suggest the latter as it explains the formula for floor. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 390217 nosy: docs@python, thomaspcavalli priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Tutorial Documentation for 3.1.1.
