202 Next, check if the number is 0. If so, check if the exponent is greater than
203 zero; if it is, return 0. If the exponent is less than 0, error (with a divide
206 Next, check if the exponent is actually an integer, and if it is, use the
214 Then we check if the number is less than 0. If it is, we negate the exponent

221 relationship `l(x) == -l(1/x)`; we negated the exponent, which is equivalent to
230 If at this point, the exponent is negative, we need to use the original formula

257 remember: we're dealing with an exponent and a power; the relationship is
