Why does this crash wolfram alpha?
Paste this into Wolfram alpha and see that it causes it to crash:
exp(21 – 1.1*log(1,000,000))
why?
exp(21 – 1.1*log(1,000,000))
why?
log(1,0,0) does not crash it.
1.1 * log(1,0,0) crashes it.
log(1,0) is interpreted as "log of 0, base 1", which is -infinity.
log(1, 0, 0) / 1 is interpreted as log(1,0,0)
as is log(1,0,0) * 1
log(1,0,0) gets converted to the Mathematica form Log[1,0,0] which, from the documentation, makes no sense to me.
log(1,0,0) * 1.1 crashes it.
So it's some interaction of an undefined result and a floating point number. Have you sent a bug report to Wolfram?
