minus-squareSylvartas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoThat makes sense, but then you’d just have people converting the int to a float manually and run into the exact same issues.
minus-squareMiaou@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoThey wouldn’t be running into an issue, but creating one, that’s different
minus-squareSylvartas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoMeh. Imo anyone comparing an integer to a float and not expecting one of them to be implicitly casted to the other’s type will create that issue for themselves when doing the same thing with an explicit cast.

minus-squareSylvartas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoAgreed. But the less experienced programmers I know are surprisingly naive about this.
