| Section 3.1.1 in the Docs states: "operators with mixed type operands convert the integer operand to floating point" https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html But gives an example using the division operator: >>> 3 * 3.75 / 1.5 7.5 >>> 7.0 / 2 3.5 In Python 3, division always returns a float, e.g. when all operands are integers: >>> 3 * 3 / 1 9.0 >>> 7 / 2 3.5 To illustrate that "operators with mixed type operands convert the integer operand to floating point" the example should not use division. For example: >>> 3 * 3.75 - 1 10.25 >>> 7.0 + 2 9.0 | ||

| Agreed. Also, I think one example is enough. A good sprint fix. | ||

| Sorry, I don't know whether this was a sprint project or not.] Saw that the original PR has sprint label on it, I merely copied them over to the backport PRs. Thanks. |
