trait IeeeOrdering extends Ordering[Float]

An ordering for Floats which is consistent with IEEE specifications whenever possible.

  • lt, lteq, equiv, gteq and gt are consistent with primitive comparison operations for Floats, and return false when called with NaN.

  • min and max are consistent with math.min and math.max, and return NaN when called with NaN as either argument.

  • compare behaves the same as java.lang.Float.compare.

Because the behavior of Floats specified by IEEE is not consistent with a total ordering when dealing with NaN, there are two orderings defined for Float: TotalOrdering, which is consistent with a total ordering, and IeeeOrdering, which is consistent as much as possible with IEEE spec and floating point operations defined in scala.math.

This ordering may be preferable for numeric contexts.

Concrete methods

def compare(x: Float, y: Float): Int

Returns an integer whose sign communicates how x compares to y.

Returns an integer whose sign communicates how x compares to y.

The result sign has the following meaning:

Given f, a function from T into S, creates an Ordering[T] whose compare function returns the result of this Ordering's compare function, if it is non-zero, or else a result equivalent to:
