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/lib/function_base.py | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'numpy/lib/function_base.py') diff --git a/numpy/lib/function_base.py b/numpy/lib/function_base.py index 696fe617b..276ffa5d4 100644 --- a/numpy/lib/function_base.py +++ b/numpy/lib/function_base.py @@ -846,7 +846,7 @@ def gradient(f, *varargs, axis=None, edge_order=1): Returns ------- gradient : ndarray or list of ndarray - A set of ndarrays (or a single ndarray if there is only one dimension) + A list of ndarrays (or a single ndarray if there is only one dimension) corresponding to the derivatives of f with respect to each dimension.
