SCR-439 | A | Mono only: llFabs of Negative Zero is negative, should be positive. |
Examples
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0,"The (Float)absolute value of -4.5 is: "+(string)llFabs(-4.5) );
}
}
// returns :
// The (Float)absolute value of -4.5 is: 4.500000
Notes
- Using
val-2*val*(val<0)is roughly 60% faster than llFabs as it avoids a function call, though it produces NaN if given an infinite value and (correctly) returns 0.0 instead of -0.0 when taking the absolute value of negative zero.
