Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Hmm, I don't get that same result (Mac OS/X 10.10, Python 3.4.2):
>>> from math import * >>> 0.0171889575379941**0.5 0.13110666473522273 >>> sqrt(0.0171889575379941) 0.13110666473522273 It's odd because your two result as same number, just displayed differently. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen anymore. >>> (0.13110666473522276).hex() '0x1.0c81a6aa9a74ep-3' >>> (0.13110666473522273).hex() '0x1.0c81a6aa9a74dp-3' ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24059> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
