Template talk:Zero
?
editHave I missed something, or is using a template, complete with ParserFunctions, to output "0" rather pointless? – Qxz 09:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- It seems to be a ABS()-like statistical function. But I'm no ParserFunctions expert, and the negative 0 in the code seems odd. This, that and the other [talk] 07:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- The second "-0" in the code is odd ... useless actually ... but the first is what the template is all about. The code goes "if you give me one of these, '-0', I'll give you one of these, '0' otherwise I'll give you back whatever you gave me unless you gave me nothing in which case I'll give you '0'." So the first "-0" is meant to be there since that what the template is looking for. "-0" is an odd thing & is not what you usually want (though there are some uses for it) turning them into plain "0" is what this template is all about. J

- I've changed the behavior in regards to what it gives if nothing is given. Nothing is using this right now, so I don't feel bad changing it's default behavior :) --- RockMFR 02:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
