[jira] [Updated] (NUMBERS-94) PlaneAngle normalize fails for very
small numbers.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUMBERS-94?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Matt Juntunen updated NUMBERS-94:
---------------------------------
Description:
When the {{PlaneAngle.normalize()}} method is called to normalize between 0 and 1 turns and is passed a very small number compared to the 1, then the method returns a number exactly equal to the angle upper bound. This breaks the API contract since the return value must be strictly less than the upper bound. Ex:
{code:java}
PlaneAngle angle = PlaneAngle.ofTurns(-1e-18);
double normalized = angle.normalize(PlaneAngle.PI).toTurns();
// normalized is equal to 1 but it should be 0 since 1 - 1e-18 = 1, which is equivalent to 0 in turns
{code}
