Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.5.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Whoops, browser-saved title from the old bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-07 17:46:00] chalkerx at gmail dot com Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php states: > Some numeric operations can result in a value represented by the constant NAN. Any loose or > strict comparisons of this value against any other value, including itself, will have a result of > FALSE But that is invalid, because NAN loosely equals to boolean true. Test script: --------------- var_dump(sqrt(-1)); var_dump(sqrt(-1) == true); Expected result: ---------------- As per documentation, the result should be: double(NAN) bool(false) The documentation should be consistent with what actually happens. Actual result: -------------- double(NAN) bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65852&edit=1
