[Bug 752885] Re: problem in basic operation exponential
The problem seems to be that 0^(1/2) does give an error instead of zero (the correct result), same for 0^0.1 and some other variants with 0^... I can confirm this bug on Natty. gcalctool seems to use the equality a^b = e^(ln(a) * b) to calculate the result, which fails for a=0. Could you report this bug in the upstream bug tracker (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gcalctool ) and link the bug report here?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read How to report bugs effectively http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
