Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (OFFICE-1469) Public Comment:[office-formula] Domain problems with exponential operator andfunctionPOWER
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1469?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Robert Weir updated OFFICE-1469: --------------------------------- Proposal: 1) Move the statement of the allowed values of 0^0 from the definition of the ^ operator in 5.4.6 to the semantics statement in the definition of POWER() in 5.16.46. 2) We should add the following semantic constraints to POWER(): a) POWER(0,0) is implementation-defined, but shall be one of 0,1, or an Error b) POWER(0,b), where b < 0, shall return an error. c) POWER(a,b), where a<=0 and INT(b)!=b, is implementation defined. The ^ operator is defined in section 5.4.6. The POWER() is defined in 5.16.46. The ^ operator is defined in terms of the POWER() function. I don't think either definition should talk about numeric underflow, overflow, limited precision, complex parameters, or any similar issues which are shared by all functions. Remember, even the + operator can cause an overflow error. We should define those concerns once , for all functions and operators. > Public Comment: [office-formula] Domain problems with exponential operator and functionPOWER > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-1469 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1469 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OpenFormula > Reporter: Robert Weir > Assignee: Robert Weir > Priority: Minor > Fix For: ODF 1.2 Part 2 CD 1 > > > Copied from office-comment list > Original author: Regina Henschel <rb.henschel@t-online.de> > Original date: 15 Apr 2009 10:17:12 -0000 > Original URL: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/200904/msg00023.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
