The goal of this issue is to organize all of the math related issues in one place and categorize them so something coherent can be done.

API Suggestions

  • #238 - Add equivalent of Number.EPSILON to Basics
  • #190 - Change toFloat to number -> Float
  • #4 - change (%) to act on number types instead of Int
  • #342 - Change String.toFloat to accept NaN and Infinity and e but disallow .1

Math is weird because of JavaScript

  • #590 - integer division by zero
  • #92 - integer division that overflows 32-bits
  • #194 - exponentiation with negative integers
  • #591 - change Basics.truncate to behave differently
  • #862 - you can create NaN of type Int
