Hi!
when I use
 function {y+cos(x/2*2*pi)-cos(x*2*pi/2)}
I got waves, but i think this should be the same as function{y},
because "x/2*2*pi" should be the same as "x*2*pi/2".
Povray treats "x/2*2*pi" like "x/(2*2*pi)" - but only in functions.

Povray 3.5 beta 2, AMD 1,4GHz 512MB DDR RAM

Thanks,

cukk

You are right. For example this:

#declare F = function(a) { a/2*2 }
#debug concat(str(F(10),0,-1), "\n")

prints "2.5" when in fact it should be "10".

  There's some kind of bug in the precedences of operators.

No, there is a bug in the optimiser...
