BUG: Raising numbers to the power of any float which is actually a whole number runs infinitely

[lyxal]

To understand this issue, compare the following programs:

10 1 m

Try it online!

and

10 1z m

Try it online!

The program where 10 is raised to the power of integer 1 outputs as expected. But the program where 10 is raised to the power of float 1.0 never ends. Yet, raising 10 to other floats works.

Further, compare the following:

10 2 m

Try it online!

and

10 2 z z m

Try it online!

(Here, we use z twice to convert 2 to 2.0)

The program raising 10 to the power of plain integer 2 works as expected, while the program raising 10 to the power of float 2.0 infinitely runs.

Okay turns out TIO is stale and needs 05AB1E updated.
