Doint must be unrelated to Doit

"Devoir" primarily translates to "must" or "have to" in English. It
expresses obligation or necessity. Should... Owes.

Il/Elle doit (he/she must)

I've never seen "doint" before. Is this an archaic form of "doit"?

i just assumed it was Subjunctive... --- as in: Thy kingdom come

or God save the Queen


My trusty book (paperback) [501 French Verbs]
has Donner (page 167) and has Subjunctives...

but i'm not seeing Doint

What?
x[1] and x[1:] are completely different.. x[1] gets the second entry, and
x[1:] returns another list of all elements starting from the second

my point was... if x=[] or [1],
x[1] raises and Error and x[1:] does not.



yes.. THey seem diff. when you put it like that.... but


Consider:
USPres[44] is Trump
USPres[44:] is Trump plus all subsequent Presidents

then when the List is too short, both should (or should not) raise an
Error. (it seems)
