Section:

PEP-634: Structural Pattern Matching
Patterns and classes

In the example code, x and y in the printed messages are swapped.

    case Point(x=0, y=y):
        print(f"Y={y} and the point is on the y-axis.")
    case Point(x=x, y=0):
        print(f"X={x} and the point is on the x-axis.")

Should be:

    case Point(x=0, y=y):
        print(f"Y={y} and the point is on the x-axis.")
    case Point(x=x, y=0):
        print(f"X={x} and the point is on the y-axis.")

@serif2 nice catch!

[brandtbucher]

I don’t think this is a typo.

When x is 0, the point resides somewhere upon the vertical y axis. When y is 0, the point resides somewhere upon the horizontal x axis.

Try plotting the points (0, 1) and (1, 0), for example.

Since this is the intended behavior, we can just close the issue.
