Hello,
Thank you for reporting this issue. I had naively assumed that Float.MIN_VALUE would represent the minimum value of a Float as opposed to your suggested -Float.MAX_VALUE. Why the choice was made to use this constant name for the precision of a Float and not having Float.MIN_VALUE be defined to be - Float.MAX_VALUE, I do not know, but I will fix this in the HDFView source. ________________________________ From: Hdf-forum <[email protected]> on behalf of Jonathan JaraAlmonte <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2017 9:31:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Hdf-forum] Bug in hdfview table editor Hi, I am using hdfview 3.0 and found an issue with the table editor. For float datasets, you cannot enter and validate a negative number. The issue is in hdf.view.Tools.checkValidFloat where Float.MIN_VALUE is erroneously used instead of -Float.MAX_VALUE as the lower bound for floats. Thanks, Jonathan Jara-Almonte
