Which Inf is bigger? Inf, or Inf? You can't know, so it's NaN. > > > > > Inf * $N Inf > > ^^^ > > presumably you meant -Inf here > > Why? $N represents a negative number. Another thing, I remember you said: $P ** Inf Inf Which is not true. It's actually { 0 , $P < 1 $P ** Inf { 1 , $P == 1 { Inf, $P > 1 But perhaps we could forgo documenting any of the power cases and leave it to common sense. OTOH, we could document every last detail. I think the latter would be more suited to the goal of the project. Luke
