If you refer to languages like Pascal or C, for illustrating that you can write a swap function in them, the swapping that happens there is one of content. So claiming that swapping contend doesn't actually achieves whar swap() does, seems wrong. -- Antoon Pardon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
