From 5a447c0ae9f43b608314d0fd2f3141fa9c5146ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hanjun Kim Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2020 13:41:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] math/big: fix typo in documentation for Int.Exp Fixes #38304 Also change `If m > 0, y < 0, ...` to `If m != 0, y < 0, ...` since `Exp` will return `nil` whatever `m`'s sign is.
