$ printf "%f\n" -0.0
-0.000000
A poor choice of words. What I meant was, what kind of computation
would lead to a value in memory representing -0,0? I don't remember
ever coming across one.
Just because we can print -0.0 doesn't mean it's meaningful.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
if( -0.0 == 0.0 ) {
printf("all zeros are zero\n");
return 0;
}
printf("minus zero is real\n");
return 1;
}
make negzero && ./negzero
cc negzero.c -o negzero
all zeros are zero
--jkl
