Subject: [ruby-core:82534] [Ruby trunk Bug#13848] BigDecimal.new('200.') raises an exception
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 11:21:43 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-66343.20170830112142.8f87a11310e64779@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-13848.20170829122454@ruby-lang.org
Issue #13848 has been updated by ddoherty03 (Daniel Doherty).
Robert, yes, I think it should be the same as BigDecimal.new('200.'). The problem arises, not when a programmer is typing the number---requiring a programmer to be explicit is OK by me---but when strings are processed that come from a user of the code.
ss = '200.' # Read from a user-prepared file.
BigDecimal.new(ss) => ArgumentError ...
As it is, the programmer has to massage every string to recognize a reasonable, albeit a bit sloppy, string that is clearly meant as a valid number.
Regards,

Bug #13848: BigDecimal.new('200.') raises an exception

* Author: ddoherty03 (Daniel Doherty)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee:
* Target version:
* ruby -v: ruby 2.4.1p111 (2017-03-22 revision 58053) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
BigDecimal.new('200.') raises an exception:
ArgumentError: invalid value for BigDecimal(): "200."
It should accept this as a valid decimal number.
This requires fixing numbers read in from the wild.
