Vulgar fraction for :00 to :07 is ⁰/₀ which is mathematically wrong
Opened this issue · 4 comments
If you really want 0 as the numerator then please choose a non-zero denominator, e.g. 1.
But I believe using 1/1 as in the range :53 to :59 would be more natural.
Consequence of writing tests and getting unexpected results...
This is done intentionally to differentiate the start of the hour from the end of the hour. It sneaks in a little more precision. It also has to be a fraction to maintain a low variable text width. This is based on a digital physical slow clock design, but I can’t find the exact model right now.
Ok, I can see that one wants to differentiate the begin and end of an hour cases.
But then please let's make it 0/1 instead of 0/0. (otherwise I'll simply change this locally ;) )
More than a year later I'll give it another try.
The problem with 0/0 (divide zero by zero) is that it makes mathematicians cringe since the expression result is undefined. Hence the request to show 0/1 or 0/4 or just 0 instead. Basically anything with a denominator not 0.
Otherwise feel free to close the issue, leaving it around will not help either.
