I know (-0 === 0) comes out to be true. I am curious to know why -0 < 0 happens? When I run this code in stackoverflow execution context, it returns 0. const arr = [+0, 0, -0]; console.log(M...

In ruby why can I assign a negative sign to 0.0 float, is this feature useful in any way? Could someone explain this one to me? -0.0 #=> -0.0 -0.0 * -1 #=> 0.0

Is there a way to write a type trait to determine whether a type supports negative zero in C++ (including integer representations such as sign-and-magnitude)? I don't see anything that directly doe...

I want to be able to test if zero is positive or negative in swift. let neg: CGFloat = -0 let pos: CGFloat = +0 if pos == neg { // this gets executed, but I don't want this } The code above does...

This question demonstrates a very interesting phenomenon: denormalized floats slow down the code more than an order of magnitude. The behavior is well explained in the accepted answer. Howev...

x = -0 >> -0 typeof(x) >> "number" x.toString() >> "0" console.log(x) >> -0 How can I convert Javascript's −0 (number zero with the sign bit set rather ...

I'm toying with some algorithm in Rust (though the language doesn't really matter for my question). Consider the code: #[no_mangle] pub fn test(x: f32) -> f32 { let m = 0.; x + m } fn main() ...

I came across this quirk while trying to optimise string pluralisation in a game of code golf. I had the idea to write strings as plurals and then use substr to cut the last character off, conditio...

I have Double data type, cause I need result with floating number, but if my result is negative, it broke all my algorithm. Is there maybe a unsigned data type with floating point?

IEEE floating point numbers have a bit assigned to indicate the sign, which means you can technically have different binary representations of zero (+0 and -0). Is there an arithmetic operation I c...

Am I right that any arithmetic operation on any floating numbers is unambiguously defined by IEEE floating point standard? If yes, just for curiosity, what is (+0)+(-0)? And is there a way to check...

Why do doubles have -0 as well as +0? What is the background and significance?
