We don’t throw warnings for the math functions when you give them odd inputs, e.g. sin(INF) is just NAN, no warning. I think removing it would make sense. > - Is it intentional for intdiv and % to throw an Exception instead of Error or some more > specific DivisionByZeroError or similar? (yes, I know, Error is only very recent, but the question > still needs to be asked). Hmm. Using Error might make some sense given it used to raise E_WARNING. I think DivisionByZeroError sounds like a good idea. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
