Just a suggestion for a documentation tweak. Currently the docs for len() on a set say this: .. describe:: len(s) Return the cardinality of set s. I'm a relatively seasoned programmer, but I don't really have a maths background, and I didn't know what "cardinality" meant. I could kind of grok it by context, but could we change this to something like the following? .. describe:: len(s) Return the number of elements in set s (cardinality of s).
Agreed. Done. :) -gps -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20160208/f1dffb6c/attachment.html>
