that is the value of the magnitude is negative

Surely a negative magnitude doesn't make sense in polar coordinates,
since the magnitude is supposed to represent the distance from the center.
About the best interpretation I can think of is to add 180 degrees to
the angle and reverse the sign of the magnitude, but this would be a
hack. Where are those coordinates coming from?

Steve

Well, sometimes in polar coordinates (r, theta), r is allowed to be
negative. The usual translation from polar to Cartesian coordinates
makes this meaningful, albeit weird, so in effect the resulting
positions are just reflections around the origin.
Which I suppose is what the original poster was asking about, but it's
still not clear.

Many years ago when I started programming machine tools (on punched
paper tape) if you wished to specify a cutter path around a radius as
being more than 180 degrees you programmed it as a negative r value.
There are 2 possible paths from x1y1 to x2y2 along a radius r and going
in the same direction; that less than 180 deg and that more than 180
deg, unless the radius is exactly 180. But this was rarely used, the
other method of specifying the end point as an incremental value in
relation to the radius centre is less error prone when the arcs are
close to 180.
Sorry about the slight diversion but I'm getting nostalgic.
Regards, John

I like PHP a lot. It's my favorite programming language. That's not to
say that I'd like to see it grow more or for derivatives to come from
it. For me, the ideal programming language would be:
* Would take the name of Polar instead of PHP.
* Syntacticaly exactly like PHP, but would be much faster on string
handling and would swap "." for "->".
* Has all the same modules of PHP but would have extremely easy-to-use

I am setting-up an experimental web service using Apache Axis but I'm having problems. AXIS can't find a library that I've verified exists on my computer and that CLASSPATH points to it.
I'm using a simple service for testing purposes (1 string IN, 1 string OUT) and I've found where the exception occures but not why.
But I've exhausted my own attempts.
I've researched the web for Axis issues and here is a brief description of the...

Summary:
I have been trying to make requests of a web service provided by Axis using
a dotnet client with code generated by wsdl.exe and have
been getting exceptions when trying to process the response.
As a result of seraching news groups I guessed that the SOAP response
defines an array element in a way that causes the dotnet deserialization
routines to put the content in a generic object array (object) BUT the
content is supposed to...

I consume it in a .net app. When receiving the response, my .net app

I've included the wsdl of the consumed axis web service, the

I wonder if you can help me - I'm new to this, and working in a project that has already been configured to work with Axis.
We have a Java project built with the Spring framework, in order to provide webservices for access via SOAP. As I understand it (ie not very well!) Axis works to accept these SOAP messages from the client and transform them into calls on our Java methods, and do the reverse with the responses - cool! Which is excellent,...

Does anyone know of an approximation to raising a negative base to a
fractional exponent? For example, (-3)^-4.11111 since this cannot be
computed without using imaginary numbers. Any help is appreciated.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
