New submission from Steven Hsu <hsuhaoc...@gmail.com>:
In Doc/glossary.rst, the definition about "coercion" is as below: "The implicit conversion of an instance of one type to another during an operation which involves two arguments of the same type." However, in the example following this definition, it shows the arguments of "different" type in an adding operation, and one of them was converted to `float` for the operation. Therefore, we should fix the definition of the coercion to as below: "The implicit conversion of an instance of one type to another during an operation which involves two arguments of the different type." Or am I realize this sentence wrong? Thanks for review. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/glossary.rst ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 397597 nosy: StevenHsuYL, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: An unclear definition in Doc/glossary.rst type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44651> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
