Yep, that's what IEEE 754-2008 says for the two-argument case, so I think that's the logic that should be followed in the many-argument case: if any of the inputs is an infinity, the output should be infinity. >From section 9.2.1 of IEEE 754: > For the hypot function, hypot(±0, ±0) is +0, hypot(± , qNaN) is + , and > hypot(qNaN, ± ) is + . ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33089> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
