I have a couple of questions for the number crunchers out there: Does "pow(x,2)" simply square x, or does it first compute logarithms (as would be necessary if the exponent were not an integer)?
Does "x**0.5" use the same algorithm as "sqrt(x)", or does it use some other (perhaps less efficient) algorithm based on logarithms? Thanks, Russ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
