Usage of "arrays" #17

Open flow2k opened 6 years ago

flow2k commented 6 years ago

The text seems to use the term "array" and "subarray" imprecisely or too liberally. Python actually does have an array type, which 1. does not seem to be covered in this text (not a real issue), but 2. is instead used to refer to lists and tuples (which I think can be misleading, so is an issue).
