New submission from Mihai Borobocea: Section 3.1.1 in the Docs states: "operators with mixed type operands convert the integer operand to floating point" https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html
But gives an example using the division operator: >>> 3 * 3.75 / 1.5 7.5 >>> 7.0 / 2 3.5 In Python 3, division always returns a float, e.g. when all operands are integers: >>> 3 * 3 / 1 9.0 >>> 7 / 2 3.5 To illustrate that "operators with mixed type operands convert the integer operand to floating point" the example should not use division. For example: >>> 3 * 3.75 - 1 10.25 >>> 7.0 + 2 9.0 ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 293641 nosy: MihaiHimself, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs example: converting mixed types to floating point versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30361> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
