the value of a -ve number when raised by a power of even number always results in a +ve number. I tried it with -1**10 , -1**2, -9**4 these all are resulting in -ve numbers which is mathematically incorrect. ps. the same example is in the attachment |

This bit of python's precedence rules often catches people by surprise. ** binds tighter than -, so what python is evaluating is -(1**10). |
