Bug #6526: minor typo in Regexp class documentation

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)

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' )
