[ruby-core:31417] [Bug #3589] Converting Bignums to Float for equality checks is wrong

From: Tomasz Wegrzanowski <redmine@...>
Date: 2010-07-21 18:01:56 UTC
List: ruby-core #31417
Issue #3589 has been updated by Tomasz Wegrzanowski.


> You should think of floats as a range of values.

This is a very common misunderstanding about floats, but it
is exactly the opposite of how IEEE 754 specifies floats to work.
They are exact numbers, and every basic floating point operation
acts as if it:
* converted arguments to infinitely long numbers
* performed operation on that
* rounded this infinitely long result the way you specified,
  also returning information if this caused any loss of precision.

If you treated floats as (value +- half ulp), then it would only be
consistent to treat integers as (value +- half ulp), that is 10
equaling everything in (9.5..10.5) range. That still wouldn't make
comparisons sensible if two numbers compared had different ulps,
like when comparing integers with floats.

Reading this would be a good start:
