Bug #6526

closed

minor typo in Regexp class documentation

Added by nathanst (Nathan Stratton Treadway) over 12 years ago. Updated over 12 years ago.

Description

In the "Performance" section of the Regexp class documentation, the intro to the first sample code block says "Consider a string of 25 as, a d, 4 as, and a c."

However, as the return value given in that sample block makes clear, there are actually four d characters in the string; it might make sense for the intro line to read "Consider a string of 25 as, 4 da pairs, and a c.", or something like that.

(Also, that sample expression could be slightly simplied to: s = 'a' * 25 + 'da' * 4 + 'c' )
