I'm trying to get [pow 2] from -0.019022952498528478. however, in Python and my on-screen pocket calculator I get -0.019022952498528478**2 -0.0003618727217612709
so apart from the 32 bit float, shouldn't the result be negative?
Here's what I get with Python:
$ python
pow(-0.019022952498528478, 2)
0.0003618727217612709
-0.019022952498528478 ** 2
- -0.0003618727217612709
So the "**" operator behaves differently from "pow(x, 2)".
Cheers,
Chris.
