As reported by Graham Ewart on docs@, in https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#common-sequence-operations: s * n or n * s | equivalent to adding s to itself n times is badly worded. In fact it's more like n-1 times, but yet it's not adding s to itself. I'd go for "n times the s sequence" or "n copies of the s sequence" instead, which both avoid the "n-1" and the "to itself" parts. |

Looks like a fitting first contribution. Working on a PR now :-) |
