In the week 1 programming assignment 3, the docstring of the function gradient_check() reads, “Implement the backward propagation presented in Figure 1”, which doesn’t really describe the purpose of this function.
I suggest refining the docstring to be “Checks if backward_propagation computes correctly the gradient of the cost output by forward_propagation”.
Hey @WinniePooh,
I believe the aim has been well described in the markdown, just like you stated. Apart from that, you will find that the function also computes the gradapproax, i.e., the gradients used for back-propagation. So, I believe the doc-string supplements the markdown well. I hope this helps.
Cheers,

I agree that the purpose of the function gradient_check() is clear if we read through the markdown.
The docstring I suggested was actually largely copied from the function gradient_check_n(). Comparing the docstrings of gradient_check() and gradient_check_n(), I believe the current version of the docstring of gradient_check() could be more accurate.
Hey @WinniePooh,
An issue has been raised for this. Thanks for your inputs.
Cheers,
Elemento
