I see. Shouldn't it say then "The round() function gives/produces/returns correctly rounded results now", instead of saying that the round function *is* correctly rounded? ISTM that the round function cannot be rounded (correctly or not): py> round(round) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: a float is required But then, I'm not a native speaker (of English).
