>>> math.sqrt(2.5) == 2.5**0.5 True >>> math.sqrt(25.25) == 25.25**0.5 True If we test the precision of math.sqrt(), would not be better to test it with data for which naive way of calculating the root returns different result? For example 2921 is the smallest integers for which math.sqrt(x) > x**0.5, and 3541 is the smallest integers for which math.sqrt(x) < x**0.5. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44364> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
