Thank you, that is a good point! I would expect a similar error message for
multiplication with negative integers.
A real-world example could be the scenario where I encountered this: arrays
were consistently assumed to be NumPy arrays, but in some cases cached versions
of these arrays would be
Thanks for your response. While legacy production code is always an issue with
potentially breaking changes, this line of thought would mean that future
versions of Python could never introduce breaking changes. This should not be
the case and is not the case now: for new Python versions, develo
Hopefully this is not a duplicate of an existing thread or in the wrong
section, first time posting here.
In Python, array multiplication is quite useful to repeat an existing array,
e.g. [1,2,3] * 2 becomes [1,2,3,4,5,6].
Multiplication by 0 yields an empty array: [1,2,3] * 0 becomes [].
