exponentiation does not work

[AlexanderKoshkarov]

Hey, here is the issue I encountered

using Polynomials
x = poly([0])
(x-1)^2  # 1 - 2∙x + x^2 # works good
(x-0.1)^2  
InexactError()

You can't subtract 0.1 and form a polynomial with Integral coefficients

[AlexanderKoshkarov]

Well, it still could be a nice feature to make polynomilas this way. for example (x-0.1)*(x-0.1) works, so why would not (x-0.1)^2. By the way, I probably should have submitted it there https://github.com/Keno/Polynomials.jl Should I resubmit?

[AlexanderKoshkarov]

ah it seems you cannot do (x-0.1)*(x-0.1) either, sorry it seems I just do not understand how they work.

[AlexanderKoshkarov]

I see the problem now "You can't subtract 0.1 and form a polynomial with Integral coefficients"

x = poly([0.0])
(x-0.1)^2

works just fine
