I think Serhiy has already explained that 43**10 is too large
to be represented exactly in 53-bit floating point arithmetic.
The math module wraps the floating point functions from the
C standard:
"It provides access to the mathematical functions defined by the C standard."
"Except when explicitly noted otherwise, all return values are floats."
So there's no bug, and the documentation looks fine to me, too. |
