[docs] Bugs in Tutorial for Python 3.6.2. Section 4.4 (p. 19)

[Hendra Soetjahja]

Hi Zachary,
Right you are.
I need a reading glasses or get more sleep to see the indentation correctly  :)I suppose it's C/C++ programmer cognitive perception/dissonance that else goes with the if, not with for.We just glance it and started running the algo with if-else pairing in our head.It's like sleight of hand magic tricking our cognitive 'expectation' based on C/C++ experience.

You probably know it immediately when I copied the code with incorrect indentation in my email.

Thanks,  Hendra  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fortunately, the bug is in your transcription of the example, not in
the docs (nor Python itself).  Look at the line immediately following
the example:

> (Yes, this is the correct code. Look closely: the else clause belongs to the for loop, not the if statement.)

Note also that this section is titled "..., and else Clauses on Loops".

This was also recently reported on the bug tracker; if you have any
suggestions for improving the clarity of that section, please add a
comment to http://bugs.python.org/issue31037
