so I 'get' that -5**2 = -25 and (-5)**2 is 25, BUT if you write a function
def sq(x):
""" Output: sq returns the square of its input
input x: a number (int or float)
"""
return x**2
and pass it a negative number it handles it as though the argument is
in parentheses.
I find this confusing. Can someone explain?
Also, can someone please take me off moderated?
thanks in advance.
