[issue27439] product function patch
New submission from Utkan Gezer: An issue of enhancement by the introduction of a built-in product() function for the multiplication operation, functions similar to how sum does for the addition operation. This issue is a reincarnation of Issue 1093 for Python 2.6, now for 3.6.

[issue27439] product function patch
Utkan Gezer added the comment: The use case is similar to the use case of sum() function, which is analogous to the sigma notation in mathematics, and is analogous to the use case of the pi notation in mathematics. Regular loop should be equally enough to achieve the function of sum(), yet the sum() exists. Only apparent (to me) difference between the sum() and product() is that sum() is already built-in while product() is yet to be. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue27439> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
