Documentation bug? {Numeric,GHC.Float}.floatToDigits: requires a non-negati: msg#00037lang.haskell.glasgow.bugs
The library report doesn't seem to mention this, but giving floatToDigits a negative number leads to nonsensical answers: Prelude> Numeric.floatToDigits 10 (-3.1415) ([-32,5,8,5],0) Now, this probably makes perfect sense, but shouldn't the doco mention the fact that floatToDigits requires a non-negative number? It does for other functions that require non-negative arguments. A -- Andy Moran Ph. (503) 626 6616, x113 Galois Connections Inc. Fax.
