Talk:Exponentiation with infix operators in (or operating on) the base: Difference between revisions

 

:: A general operator precedence wasn't the goal of the task,   but specifically exponentiation when a unary (negative) operator was being used (or specified).   This was the case in which this ambiguity was actually being used (specified) in the preamble of three Rosetta Code tasks.   I know because I kept getting the wrong results until I realized that some languages must be behaving differently than the languages that I know   (as far as infix operators).   So I named/created the task to be as specific as possible to test/demonstrate just one thing, not the whole enchilada.   This situation, other than chained exponentiations   (x**y**z)   are (it seems) two of the cases where it is known to get misinterpreted   (or at least, implemented differently).   I didn't want to this task to get too general and loose focus of the (minor) difficulty that had already occurred on Rosetta Code, at least in my case.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 14:47, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
