Someone else points out that Python's native
bool
is a subtype ofint
, so adding abool
to anint
(or performing other mixed operations) is not an error, which might then go on to cause a hard-to-catch semantic/mathematical error.I am assuming that trying to add a NumPy
bool_
to anint
causes a compilation error at best and a run-time warning, or traceable program crash at worst.
