Consider the exponential operation (x,y)xy.(x,y)\to x^y. If xNx\in\N and yNy\in \N then xyN,x^y\in \N, and hence this operation is defined on the set N\N of natural numbers. On the other hand, for x=2Zx=2\in\Z and y=1Z,y=-1\in\Z, we have that xy=21=0.5N,x^y=2^{-1}=0.5\notin \N, and thus this operation is not defined on the set Z\Z of integers.
