From 2b6d7bc151d4d15efc8bc428d51cea3286305f41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fred Drake Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 13:50:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!
