Georg Brandl added the comment:

The example is correct.  r is a range(0, 20, 2), whose last element is 18.

[issue23559] [doc] inconsistent range example output

2015-03-02 Thread Raphaël Bleuse

New submission from Raphaël Bleuse:

Reading the documentation for ranges (see 
https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/stdtypes.html#ranges), the example using a 
negative index output is inconsistent with the range effective behaviour.

One can read:

 r[-1]
18


while (in my understanding) it should be:

 r[-1]
8


Note the output should be 8 and not 18.
