What should 5.3m + 1.0000000000000001 produce? I also don't understand the heterogeneous comparisons comment. What should 1.0000000000000001 == 1.0000000000000001m produce? > - We should not print the trailing zeroes. IEEE P754 does not > require it, and it breaks things such as array lookup.

When dealing with currency, having 0.05 + 0.05 produce 0.10 is a feature. - Sam Ruby _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
