Not the same thing. "a + b" is usually pronounced "a plus b". Now, "plus" has a somewhat wider meaning than "sum". It sounds quite in order to say things like "I have a sandwich plus an apple in my lunch box", but it would be odd to say "I have the sum of a sandwich and an apple in my lunch box". -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
