in reply to Re^3: Euler's identity in Raku
in thread Euler's identity in Raku
Copying Rob's one-liner into my system gives yet another answer:
-1+1.22464679914735e-16i
Using perl -v, my perl is "
This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi". Possibly different compilers or options used to build the executables. As somebody who has dealt with floating point issues, 10**(-16) in a operation return like this is frequently noise. I'd not expect perl to return exactly zero to sin(pi) and I don't get it, but 1.22464679914735e-16.
That's hinting at something, but I'm not quite sure what.
Tried (and hopefully succeeded) in fixing the formatting, so my reply isn't in my sig.
