Add you can call this function plusminus Then use the funcoperators module to write : upper, lower = a +plusminus- b pip install funcoperators Le mar. 14 sept. 2021 à 16:02, Paul Moore
I doubt it, it seems way too specialised to be worth making into a language feature.
If you want to, you can write a function:
def limits(a, b): return a+b, a-b

I was wondering on whether there is any interest in introducing a
"plus-minus" operator:
Conceptually very simple; instead of:
upper, lower = a + b, a - b
use instead:
upper, lower = a +- b
In recent projects I've been working on, I've been having to do the
above "plus minus" a lot, and so it would simplify/clean-up/reduce error potential cases where I'm writing the results explicitly.
It isn't a big thing, but seems like a clean solution, that also takes
advantage of python's inherent ability to return and assign tuples.
