Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment:
Exponentiation has higher precedence (binds more tightly) than unary minus, so the expression groups as -(2**2). Virtually all computer languages (those that _have_ an exponentiation operator) do the same. For example, here from wxMaxima: (%i1) -2**2; (%o1) -4 Closing as not-a-bug. ---------- nosy: +tim.peters resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed versions: -Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46618> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
