Sebb updated JEXL-87:
---------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0
> Inconsistent behaviour of arithmetical operations
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JEXL-87
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-87
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
> Fix For: 2.0
>
>
> BigInteger(7) / BigInteger(2) == 3
> whereas
> BigDecimal(7) / BigDecimal(2) == 4, because the result is rounded up.
> I would expect the results to be the same.
> Rather worse is:
> BigDecimal(7) % BigDecimal(2) == -1
> which makes no sense at all.
> Seems to me that the arithmetic "rules" need revisiting and rationalising -
> for example why should Integer be treated as double?
> At present literal numbers are treated as Integer or Float; there's no option
> to generate Long or Double literals.
