Python Function with Uncommon Return Value Error

This repository demonstrates a Python function with an uncommon error: an incorrect return value when a specific condition is met, resulting in unexpected results or exceptions.

The bug.py file contains the erroneous function. The bugSolution.py provides the corrected version.

Bug Description

The function function_with_uncommon_error has a logical error in its handling of the case where a is equal to 0. It returns b, which is only correct if the goal is to return either a or b depending on which is non-zero. This leads to incorrect results if the intended behavior was different.

Solution

The solution addresses the error by correcting the return statement to return the expected value when a is 0. The updated function in bugSolution.py provides the corrected logic.
