Kas is exactly right, but I'm accustomed to languages that provide a test for negative zero. (On the other hand, I have yet to find compelling reason that I need to do so.) On 28 Feb 2009, at 22:02, Kassen wrote:
Steve;
It's weirdness, but I can't imagine a program in any language I know of actually having trouble parsing -0.0.
Aren't situations like this the reason why we have standards for the representation of floating point numbers? I seem to remember something like that.
Ah, here it is; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754
Negative zero is a part of that standard. Sticking to that standard, even if it's slightly weird, will probably prevent issues more than cause them, I'd imagine.
