Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment:
The binary power operator (`**`) has higher precedence than the unary negation operator (`-`). That is, -x**y groups as -(x**y). Not a bug - that's how it was designed and how it's documented. Note that this isn't novel, either. For example, to give just one example of many, that's how Maxima does it too: (%i1) -2**3; (%o1) -8 ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44692> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
