> j is even implies (j ^ -3) == -(j ^ 3) This follows from what I posted before: if j is even, then j ^ 3 is odd, so we can apply the rule x ^ -2 = -x to x = j ^ 3: (j ^ 3) ^ -2 = -(j ^ 3) which implies j ^ (3 ^ -2) = -(j ^ 3) or equivalently j ^ -3 = -(j ^ 3) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34751> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
