I have a question about this new snippet in choice(): + if i == n and n > 0: + i = n - 1 What's the purpose of the "and n > 0" clause? Without it, if i == n == 0 then i will be set to -1, which is just as good as 0 for the purpose of raising IndexError (seq[any_int] raises IndexError when seq is empty). |
