01:21 | <sideshowbarker> | looking at https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/12062, does the spec anywhere define negative zero? |
01:21 | <sideshowbarker> | maybe somewhere by reference to IEEE 754? |
01:23 | <bakkot> | sideshowbarker: https://tc39.es/ecma262/multipage/ecmascript-data-types-and-values.html#sec-ecmascript-language-types-number-type |
01:24 | <bakkot> | it does mention negative zero, but the actual definition is just by reference to IEEE, yes |
01:24 | <sideshowbarker> | OK, so it just follows from that |
01:24 | <sideshowbarker> | OK yeah |
01:24 | <bakkot> | seems like a reasonable place to ref https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_zero |
01:25 | <bakkot> | (on mdn, I mean, not the spec) |
01:29 | <jmdyck> | I just noticed that pos zero and neg zero don't satisfy the definition of normalized or denormalized. |
01:29 | <sideshowbarker> | seems like a reasonable place to ref https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_zero |
01:46 | <jmdyck> | Ah, only the finite non-zero values are normalized or denormalized. |
