There are many math ops that work on Float PMCs but not Integer PMCs. e.g.: % cat foo.pir .sub main P1 = new .Float P1 = 123 P1 = exp P1 print P1 print "\n" .end % ./parrot foo.pir Method 'exp' not found current instr.: 'main' pc 12 (foo.pir:6) The assignment of 123 autoconverts the float to an integer, which doesn't support the 'exp' method that's defined in the Float pmc. (Change the 123 to 123. and it works fine.) Given the morphing that typically happens, I'd expect to be able to do numeric (as opposed to integer) ops on integer pmcs and have it autoconvert to float. exp is one of *many* math ops this needs to be done. Check out the Methods POD section of src/pmc/float.pmc for the list.
