[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31246] Inconsistent behavior of .^

[David Bateman]

Update of bug #31246 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed                 

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #1:

The .^ operator has a higher precedence than the - operator and so your two
statement written differently ar

-(0.5 .^ (2/3)) 

and

(-0.5) .^ (2/3) 

Are you really surprised they aren't equal? Read section 8.8 of the manual
at

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Operator-Precedence.html#Operator-Precedence

for more information.
