2 ^. int and 2 ^ int without logs #91

Open HenryHRich opened 2 years ago

moon-chilled commented 1 year ago

How do you propose to implement 2 ^. int more efficiently than for a float?

moon-chilled commented 1 year ago

any nonintegral float can be turned into an integer by multiplying by an easy-to-discover integer power of 2, so I think the distinction should be irrelevant for ^.

HenryHRich commented 1 year ago

I meant, for cases where the result is an integer.
