Discussion: should we include zero?
gtudan opened this issue · 6 comments
It is debatable if zero is a positive integer or not (example). It probably depends on the context, so maybe we different versions of numbers.txt?
I would like to use numbers.txt to iterate through my lists (starting with index zero), so this would really help!
This is a very important question, and I'm not sure I can see an easy answer. I'd like to open this up to further discussion before proceeding.
This would require a test update.
That is an excellent point @deplicator!
To get a feel for the mood out there on this issue, I have posted this poll on the fediverse: https://phpc.social/@andrewfeeney/109938989159254475
A reasonable compromise would be to include +0 but not -0 (which is represented differently in IEEE 754)
@kikito You're the first to bring actual standards to the discussion and now you're blowing this wide open again. 🤯
