Reading v5.97 today, I got a bit confused about the exactness of expt: Section 11.7.1 lists `expt' among the procedures that must return an exact result if all arguments are exact. Two paragraphs later, however, the text lists `expt' among the procedures which may return inexact results even if given exact arguments.
In fact, the the exactness of expt's return value depends on the types of the arguments---according to the definition. I think that it is confusing to list `expt' among the procedures that *must* return exact results, since the wording suggests that the procedures listed compute exact results under all circumstances. -Eric _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
