Some thing might be incorrect and need you to update them in
(5.1.4. List Comprehensions)

It should be like this:
------------------start------------------
>>> vec = [-4, -2, 0, 2, 4]
>>> # create a new list with the values doubled
>>> [x*2 for x in vec]
[-8, -4, 0, 4, 8]
>>> # filter the list to exclude negative numbers
>>> [x for x in vec if x >= 0]
[0, 2, 4]
>>> # apply a function to all the elements
>>> [abs(x) for x in vec]
[4, 2, 0, 2, 4]                     >>>>>>>>>>>It should be [0, 2, 4]<<<<<<<<<<<
------------------end------------------

vec has not been changed.  The example is correct.  Give it a try :)

Oh my god! You're right!
