Backport changed from 2.1: WONTFIX, 2.2: REQUIRED, 2.3: REQUIRED to 2.1: WONTFIX, 2.2: WONTFIX, 2.3: WONTFIX ---------------------------------------- Bug #9810: Numeric#step behavior with mixed Float, String arguments inconsistent with documentation https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9810#change-58123 * Author: Brian Shirai * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Nobuyoshi Nakada * ruby -v: ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-darwin13.0] * Backport: 2.1: WONTFIX, 2.2: WONTFIX, 2.3: WONTFIX ---------------------------------------- The `Numeric#step` documentation states: "If any of the arguments are floating point numbers, all are converted to floats..." https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/numeric.c#L1921 Is the following code intended to be described by that documentation? ```ruby 1.1.step(5.1, "1") {} ``` Previously (eg 2.0.0) resulted in a `TypeError`: ``` $ ruby -v -e 'p 1.1.step(5.1, "1") {}' ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27) [x86_64-darwin13.0.1] -e:1:in `step': no implicit conversion to float from string (TypeError) from -e:1:in `
' ``` In 2.1.1, at least, an `ArgumentError` is raised: ``` $ ruby -v -e 'p 1.1.step(5.1, "1") {}' ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-darwin13.0] -e:1:in `>': comparison of String with 0 failed (ArgumentError) from -e:1:in `step' from -e:1:in `
' ``` What's the intended behavior? ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-Update-documentation-on-Numeric-step.patch (1.11 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
