From f36e940a4726abb38c4929259e8eaf00d68c3d18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Antony Lee Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2020 18:53:53 +0100 Subject: DOC: Avoid using "set of" when talking about an ordered list. ... or when the input isn't/cannot be a set. I left a few usages, e.g. in random sampling, where "set" is reasonable as informal description of an array as the order doesn't matter; however, for e.g. np.gradient the order of the returned list is clearly important, so "set" is wrong. Also some other minor doc edits noticed during the grepping: using `shape` instead of `form` in `cov` is consistent with most other places; the wording in `Polynomial.trim` now matches other methods on the same class. --- numpy/core/fromnumeric.py | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'numpy/core/fromnumeric.py') diff --git a/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py b/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py index efb052bc2..52df1aad9 100644 --- a/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py +++ b/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py @@ -308,7 +308,7 @@ def _choose_dispatcher(a, choices, out=None, mode=None): @array_function_dispatch(_choose_dispatcher) def choose(a, choices, out=None, mode='raise'): """ - Construct an array from an index array and a set of arrays to choose from. + Construct an array from an index array and a list of arrays to choose from.
