Why not use the java.util.Number class instead? Who cares if it's an Integer or a Double if all we do is comparing?

Belonga [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 12:14 PM To: jaxen Subject: [Jaxen] number() All, Currently, number( value ) will convert the value to a Double only if it is already a Double or if it is a string with a decimal place. If it has no decimal place, it will convert value to an Integer. This causes problems when you do something like: number( '4' ) < number( '12.0' ) (same for '>' as well). Which causes a ClassCastException since we're using compareTo (see Integer javadocs). I suggest that number ALWAYS converts to a Double. Does anyone disagree? Is there any reason we would *not* want to convert to Double? -Mark _______________________________________________ Jaxen-interest mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jaxen-interest _______________________________________________ Jaxen-interest mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jaxen-interest
