Re: rfc: pow-operator

We should be following standard Order of Operations here. As such, the option of no associativity should be included. Furthermore, there needs to be a voting option regarding how to deal with even exponents of negative bases; i.e. treat "-3 ^ 2" as "-3 ^ 2 == 9" or as "-(3 ^ 2) == -9". Without those options, my vote would be a firm No. --Kris On Sat, Nov 23, 2013 at 9:43 AM, Derick Rethans <derick@php.net> wrote: > On Sat, 23 Nov 2013, Tjerk Meesters wrote: > > > Hi guys, > > > > I'm done drafting the RFC for the exponential operator: > > https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pow-operator > > > > Since this is a language feature, voting will only start in two weeks > from > > now. > > Something that I missed in there, are you thinking of adding: > > **= > > in there too, just like we have: > > $a += 5; > > cheers, > Derick > > -- > http://derickrethans.nl | > http://xdebug.org > Like Xdebug?
