Power node cannot handle negative exponent

in Wire, the Power node returns inf when given a negative exponent.
Negative exponents are a thing. 2 ^ (-1) = 1/2
please fix

Which version of Wire are you running? It looks about correct to me on 7.23.1:

Ah, I see what happened. I had
Int In => Power => 1/x.
The result of an Integer negative exponent is rounded to zero as the result of Power is cast to Int. Then the 1/x gives inf.
Working as designed.
