Dear co-users, I am somewhat rediscovering that Scilab allows to defined a signed zero: --> zm = -0 zm = 0. --> 1/zm ans = -Inf It looks not documented. I am wondering where is the best place to document it (i mean, which existing page?), and even if it is worthwhile to document it. Indeed, what can be done with it? Beside inverting it into -%inf, other operations are rather disappointing: --> zm==0 ans = T --> zm<0 ans = F --> sign(zm) ans = 0. Any idea about applications?
