Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment: I think Serhiy has already explained that 43**10 is too large to be represented exactly in 53-bit floating point arithmetic.
The math module wraps the floating point functions from the C standard: "It provides access to the mathematical functions defined by the C standard." "Except when explicitly noted otherwise, all return values are floats." So there's no bug, and the documentation looks fine to me, too. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15438> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
