Re: Error when using expt.

This is because the number you would generate would be absurd...

(expt 4 5) = 4*4*4*4*4 = 1024
(expt 3 (expt  5)) = (expt 3 1024)=3.73.... * 10^488)  (A number with a lot
more than 4 hundred digits!)

You are asking for 2 ^ (3.73... * 10^488) - which is a beyond imagination
*insanely* large number.
