[PATCH v2] nextup.3: minor improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current "If x is 0" condition is a bit misleading because "is"
is not the equality test (just like when saying "x is NaN") and 0
as a FP number stands for +0, while this condition should apply to
both -0 and +0.
Replace this condition by "If x is +0 or -0".

Replace "Nan" by "NaN" (typography used everywhere else).
