You're a former Pascal programmer, aren't you? ;-) In Python, it's not an error, because you can do things like: >>> def simpson(f, a, b): ... "Simpson's Rule approximation of the integral of f on [a, b]." ... return (b - a) * (f(a) + 4 * f((a + b) / 2.0) + f(b)) / 6.0 ... >>> simpson(math.sin, 0.0, math.pi) # Note that math.sin is a function 2.0943951023931953 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
