Error in the documentation - Pike-devel

10 Apr 2004


      (Maybe this is the wrong place for bug reports, but I didn't find
anything better.)
I just discovered a small error in the documentation at
http://pike.ida.liu.se/docs/tutorial/data_types_2/container_types.xml.
In the paragraph about array division the examples for division by
integers and floats have been mixed up:
...
# Division
array / delimiter
[...]
If the delimiter is an integer, the array array will be split into
arrays of size delimiter, with any extra elements ignored:
({ 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2 }) / 3 gives the result ({ ({ 7, 1, 2 }), ({
3,
4, 1 }), ({ 2 }) }).
If you convert the same integer to a floating-point number, the
extra
elements will not be thrown away:
({ 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2 }) / 3.0 gives the result ({ ({ 7, 1, 2 }),
({
3, 4, 1 }) }).
