Eric Barnhill resolved NUMBERS-45.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Removal of isNaN() and isInfinite() methods from Complex class
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NUMBERS-45
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUMBERS-45
> Project: Commons Numbers
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Eric Barnhill
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> Complex() currently contains the methods isNaN() and isInfinite() which
> return positive when either the real or the imaginary components of the
> Complex number are infinite. They are principally used as a "short circuit"
> in many of the methods, that is, isNaN() is checked and if true, Complex.NaN
> is returned without further processing.
> isNaN() and isInfinite() should be removed from Complex. For the purposes of
> ISO C standards, nearly all methods need to handle arguments and return
> values in which either real or imaginary is NaN or Infinite, but not both.
> Thus this quick "sanity check" prevents Commons from complying with ISO C
> standards.
> It is easy enough to check whether the fields Complex.real and
> Complex.imaginary with Double.isNaN() or Double.isInfinite() if comparison is
> desired.
> These methods then need to be removed from certain tests in ComplexTest which
> call the isNaN() or isInfinite() methods. Most of these methods are
> superseded by the new C standard tests anyway.
