From: andrew@... Date: 2015-12-29T03:12:52+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:72582] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11918] [Open] Make #finite? consistent with #nonzero? Issue #11918 has been reported by Andrew Vit. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11918: Make #finite? consistent with #nonzero? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11918 * Author: Andrew Vit * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- Calling `.nonzero?` on a number returns itself (truthy) or nil, but calling `.finite?` on a float is just true or false. Floats can produce Infinity without errors and cause downstream errors if that result is unexpected. This would be nice to have: ~~~ top, bottom = 9.9, 0.0 (top / bottom).finite? or raise DivisionByZero (top / bottom).finite? || 0.0 (9.9 / 2.0).finite? #=> 0.5 (9.9 / 0.0).finite? #=> nil ~~~ These semantics would let the user handle the desired behaviour immediately in place. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
