Yes, I've seen it, and in a previous-unrelated post I commented
I am planning to use it (or something similar) because floats
and currency are a horrible combo. I am not using it right now
because I want to learn the language and encountering
situations like this one helps me a lot, otherwise, I would
have never noted such NaN behavior -to me, there are a lots of
things that could fly under the radar at this moment. And by
the way, looking at the code, money seems a quite simple
non-nonsense implementation making it a solid candidate :)
Thanks for the tip Andre !
What you actually should do when working with money which is what
a lot of banking solutions etc. do is working with cents only in
2 decimal places.
So 25.98 would be represented as 2598.
It makes sure that you’ll never have rounding errors or floating
point representations that are wrong.
