If I put -2 ** 2 in the interpreter it outputs -4. Expected is 4. If I create a variable and initialize it with -2 and then try the same then it's correct. |

Exponentiation has higher precedence (binds more tightly) than unary minus, so the expression groups as -(2**2). Virtually all computer languages (those that _have_ an exponentiation operator) do the same. For example, here from wxMaxima: (%i1) -2**2; (%o1) -4 Closing as not-a-bug. |
