Were are speaking of integers here not FP numbers.
- curice 8y agoNot to be pedantic, but one of the author's own examples involves pi inverse, so I think discussing FP numbers is valid.
- stringer 8y agoYes I know, but in the context of Pony, 1/0==0 only applies to integers, not FP numbers. The article doesn't make it clear.
- spooneybarger 8y agofloating point numbers in Pony follow the standard and return Infinity for division by zero. integer division by zero is undefined behavior and something each programming language has to decide how to handle.
- halflings 8y agoThe article mentions floating point numbers as well, and the same applies to integers anyway. Only used FP numbers for emphasis.
