However, I get a crash with the following message wrong argument type Float (expected Fixnum) The values I am using are 0.713 ** 0.5555555 => THIS CRASHES But when I try this on a ruby command prompt, it works fine. Is there a way I can calculate using a float number as an exponent? Thanks. Tony -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
