Hi, There is something strange going on with the simple sqrt() function:
sage: sqrt(2) sqrt(2) sage: sqrt(2.0) 1.41421356237310 sage: sqrt(2,prec=100) 1.4142135623730950488016887242 but: sage: sqrt(2.0,prec=100) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) ... TypeError: sqrt() got an unexpected keyword argument 'prec' You also get the above result if you use a symbolic variable instead, eg x=2.0 Similarly: sage: sqrt(pi) sqrt(pi) sage: sqrt(pi,prec=100) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) ... TypeError: sqrt() takes no keyword arguments The latter used to work in 3.4.2 and is now broken in the latest 4.0 32-bit Intel build. I suppose this should work tranparently or should the sqrt() function be used in a different way? regards, Jens --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
