note 94487 added to function.gettype

Re: Andaramuxo, that's actually not a bug. pow() operates in floating-point by default -- it will return an integer "if possible", but this is based on whether its operands were integers or floats and not on whether the result actually has a fractional component. Pass floating-point numbers to pow(), you will always get a floating-point result. For example: <?php $x = pow(4, 2); // integer operands echo gettype($x); // 'integer' $y = pow(4.0, 2); // mixed operands echo gettype($y); // 'double' $z = pow(4.0, 2.0); // float operands echo gettype($z); // 'double' ?> ---- Server IP: 192.41.40.227 Probable Submitter: 67.237.238.105 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gettype.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94487 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94487/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94487/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94487/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94487/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94487/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94487/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94487 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94487 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
