Description
Describe the issue: In the futures.ipynb there is an example with x, y, z variables, where in line 207 and 208 the comments for the assignments of y and z are indicating that the "inc" function is used, but instead "double" and "add" are used.
Minimal Complete Verifiable Example:
{
"cell_type": "code",
"execution_count": null,
"metadata": {},
"outputs": [],
"source": [
"%%time\n",
"\n",
"for i in range(256):\n",
" x = client.submit(inc, i) # x = inc(i)\n",
" y = client.submit(double, x) # y = inc(x)\n",
" z = client.submit(add, x, y) # z = inc(y)\n",
" zs.append(z)"
]
}
should be
{
"cell_type": "code",
"execution_count": null,
"metadata": {},
"outputs": [],
"source": [
"%%time\n",
"\n",
"for i in range(256):\n",
" x = client.submit(inc, i) # x = inc(i)\n",
" y = client.submit(double, x) # y = double(x)\n",
" z = client.submit(add, x, y) # z = add(x, y)\n",
" zs.append(z)"
]
}
Anything else we need to know?: no, this is really a quick fix
