float.init is not equal to 0.0f. In D FP points values are initialized to nan (not a number).

By the way for strings it works, it's like the array case I described in the first answer).

yes i guess i tested all/most types and know that float.init is float.nan but why is nan true and not false?

because nan is not 0 and that the shortcut for float is

if (fpValue) <=> if (fpValue != 0)
if (!fpValue)<=> if (fpValue == 0)

There's no relation between the initializer and the shortcut. It's not because for some values the shortcut matches to the initializer that it must always be the case...But I admit I don't know the exact rationale.

Does anyone know ?
