Subject: [squeak-dev] Number readFrom: can we remove some
"accidental" features
Reply-To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>
Strangely, Squeak Number class>>#readfrom: used to accept non
Smalltalk syntax like:
(Number readFrom: '.2') -> 0.2 .
(Number readFrom: '2.e3') -> 2000.0 .
(See
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2006-April/103137.html)
Don't know if accidental or on purpose, but to me, this is wrong and
I did not implement this behavior in SqNumberParser because there is
no such official Smalltalk syntax to my knowledge.
Up to any one to accept an alternate number syntax by subclassing
SqNumberParser.
Now I see that Dave Lewis (dtl) asserted this feature:
testAsNumberWithSuperfluousDecimalPoint
| sd |
sd _ '123.s2' asNumber.
self assert: ScaledDecimal == sd class.
self assert: sd scale == 2.
self assert: '123.00s2' = sd printString.
I'd like to remove this feature.
Is it ok?
