New submission from Jim Jewett: http://docs.python.org/lib/typesnumeric.html contains a table listing the mathematical operators. Please add a note to the final row (x ** y meaning x to the power y) indicating that Python has chosen to define 0**0==1 Note 6: Python defines 0**0 to be 1. For background, please see http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation#Zero_to_the_zero_power
This doc change should have prevented issue 1461; I *think* there have been similar issues in the past. ---------- components: Documentation messages: 57855 nosy: jimjjewett severity: minor status: open title: 0 ** 0 documentation type: rfe versions: Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1501> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
