i stumbled across a post and got to wondering what Julians thought of it ...
http://www.walkingrandomly.com/?p=5152 the author presents the case that Python is not IEEE compliant, but MATLAB is and Julia is close: "From the wikipedia page on Division by Zero <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero>: *“The IEEE 754 standard specifies that every floating point arithmetic operation, including division by zero, has a well-defined result”.* the author reports that in Julia julia> 1/(-0) Inf but MATLAB "correctly" returns -Inf ... i am not sure that signed zero (-0) means anything to me ... should it? many thanks, cdm
