Some special values of a
Complex
's imaginary component cause it to print an incorrect sign:-0.0
→+ -0.0
(should be- 0.0
)+NaN
→- NaN
(should be+ NaN
)-NaN
→- -NaN
(should be+ NaN
)This PR fixes those edge cases by extracting the intrinsic sign with
Math.copysign
.I don't think the rest of the standard library has the same issue, but this is something to keep in mind if we decide to implement
%+f
etc. forString::Formatter
in pure Crystal.
