m (→‎Fractions? Trailing Zeros?: mention imaginary numbers)
Line 6:
Floating point numbers may also be problematic as mentioned in the Raku entry. By the way, how many decimal places does fp-zero have? How about fp-infinity?
 
Should we also handle other numeric types with decimal points? Many languages feature some sort of 'BigDecimal' type and imaginary number type, for example.
 
It would be nice if the task description could elaborate on some of the above concerns. A restriction of the scope of the task (beyond merely 'numbers'), as well as having an actual task to solve beyond a couple cryptic inputs and outputs would be much appreciated as well. --[[User:Chunes|Chunes]] ([[User talk:Chunes|talk]]) 12:22, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
