Arguable floating points would do better with -Infinity
Why? A signaling nan tells you 'you'trying to use an uninitialized value!'.
and integral types with a negative value e.g. -1, -2 or as negative as possible.
Why? I can see some reasons, like foo * -1 yields a negative answer, while foo * 0 yields 0, which is a fairly common value. Still what are your reasons for saying it's the best?
I suspect booleans would do better with true (this being the furtherest away from false .. that if is false is taken to be the origin of the boolean value axis).
And if true is taken to be the origin, then false would be the best? -- Simen
