unexpected(?) conversion to float while raising an integer to power -1 [closed]
This is what I observe in Sage 9.3:
sage: type(29**(-1))
<class 'sage.rings.rational.Rational'>
sage: type(ZZ(29)**(-1))
<class 'sage.rings.rational.Rational'>
sage: type(int(29)**(-1))
<class 'float'>
Why the last result is 'float'? Is it a bug or an expected behavior?
