Jonathan Fine <jfine2...@gmail.com> added the comment:
It might be better in my sample code to write
isinstance(p, int)
instead of
type(p) == int
This would fix Rémi's example. (I wanted to avoid thinking about (False //
True).)
For median([1, 1]), I am not claiming that 1.0 is wrong and 1 is right. I'm not
saying the module is broken, only that it can be improved.
For median([1, 1]), I believe that 1 is a better answer, particularly for
school students. In other words, that making this change would improve Python.
As a pure mathematician, to me 1.0 means a number that is close to 1. Whereas 1
means a number that is exactly 1..
