New submission from Alexey Radkov <alexey.rad...@gmail.com>: The following excerpt will show the issue:
$ python Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Sep 16 2010, 18:02:00) [GCC 4.5.1 20100907 (Red Hat 4.5.1-3)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> 8 * 4 / ( 2 - 7 ) * 6 / 3 -14 >>> Why it is evaluated to -14 ?? In floating point arithmetic it should be -12.8, in integer arithmetic i believe it should be -12 (at least bc and a small dedicated C program evaluate it to -12). Perhaps i do not understand some specific python arithmetic priority or associativity rules, anyway i cannot find a specific combinations of them to yield -14 in this expression. ---------- components: None messages: 120665 nosy: alexey.radkov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: strange arithmetic behaviour type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10346> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
