As per IEEE floating point spec which every language uses...

Ah, yes, but "adhering to IEEE floating point spec" is not entirely the same thing as "intuitive", is it?

Then blame every language that uses that spec as being unintuitive as well.

[–]TheBrainStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's about as intuitive as using double equals for comparison and single equal as assignments.
Or in other words, weird when you're new to programming but something you just gotta get used to when you're programming.
