Talk:Shift list elements to left by 3

Pylint suggestions for current Python draft

Pylint flags up (inter alia) the point that `list` is a predefined name (for the list constructor function) in Python. Perhaps worth using an alternative name, to avoid confusion ?

( That might also, on reflection, make it a little easier to extend those functions to allow for arguments of type `range(m, n)`, in addition to the arguments of type `list`, to which I think they are restricted at the moment. You would need the eponymous Python list() function to make the conversions from ranges ).

Rotate vs. Shift

"Logical shift" is different from "Rotate" or "Circular Shift" and we should probably acknowledge in the task description that there's another kind of "shift" which some people are likely to want in some contexts. --Rdm (talk) 23:06, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
