You're right about BigInteger, I did see that (but did not test it). The table does show it as well. I am talking about BigDecimal. The bullet points only cover BigDecimal with BigDecimal and BigDecimal with float|double but say nothing about BigDecimal with integral types.

If I understand the table correctly it show that int and BigInteger result in BigInteger. Am I missing something? -Pascal Am 09.10.2015 um 20:23 schrieb Winnebeck, Jason: I've been struggling with types in math operations in Groovy. I think there is an error in the documentation? http://groovy-lang.org/syntax.html#_math_operations It says that int and BigDecimal result in double, but it doesn't, it results in BigDecimal instead. It appears this holds for byte, char, short, and long as well. assert (15.0 + 1).class == BigDecimal Are there other errors in that table? It seems so... because byte + short is a byte and not an int as mentioned in that table: assert ((byte)1 + (short)1).class == Byte I would put in a PR to fix up that doc but I'm not sure I understand how it all works. Normally when I do maths I try to stick all to primitive types or all to BigDecimal types. Today I'm trying to make sure I don't accidentally go from BigDecimals to float/double.
