Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: max and min for a range object are already O(1) one-liners:
>>> a = range(3, 21, 5) >>> a[-1] if a.step > 0 else a[0] # max(a) 18 >>> a[0] if a.step > 0 else a[-1] # min(a) 3 As for __and__, it doesn't feel like a particularly natural operation to me, given that a range object represents an *ordered* sequence of integers rather than just a subset. For example, what should the first element of range(7, -3, -2) & range(10) be? 7 or 1? And why? ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15224> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
