[New-bugs-announce] [issue18518] timeit bug?

[icedream91]

New submission from icedream91:

When I ran code below, it printed -1. The question is, the code in variable snippet, has wrong syntax, it can't be run. I think timeit should return only non-negative float type.


from timeit import timeit

snippet="""
for i in range(10):
    return -1
"""

print(timeit(snippet))


Thanks.
