Hi,
Just realised putting a negative number into the [pow] object outputs '0'?!?
For example if I do:
[-1 ( | [pow 2]
it returns 0, where I would expect it to return 1.
Is this a known limitation or bug?
it's most likely a feature that tries to protect you from things like:
[-1( | [pow 0.5] |
Are there any work arounds if I want a variable power?
urgh, i had hoped to never have to tell people to use [expr], but there you go:
[-1
|
[pack 0 2]
|
[expr pow($f1, $f2)]
