I just read in a book a little while ago that ** trumps a negative sign? I am struggling with the audacity of that as -1 is negative 1, NOT minus 1. How can an arithmetic operation trump an attribute of a negative integer? It truly makes no sense to me. Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide.
