FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 7
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Math.pow(1.0, Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY) returns NaN instead of 1.0.
Given that we have a mathematical theorem that states that:
limit 1^N = +Infinity when N -> Infinity
this is very surprising. Basically it's just wrong. This behavior is
I would understand it for pow(-1.0, +Inf) but for 1 don't see how one should come to the conclusion that we don't know the answer. This needs fixing.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
