18:29 * AnnoDomini is a bit annoyed. Would it kill Java's developers to have the valueOf() methods return 0 when encountering an unrecognized input? It worked well for mIRC. :/
18:33
<@jerith>
Would it kill Ruby devs to throw a VariableNotBound exception when I reference a nonexistance instance variable instead of helpfully returning nil?
18:33
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
AnnoDomini: that's the atoi problem, though. How do you distinguish between (garbage).valueOf() and (0).valueOf()?
18:34
<@jerith>
You can at elast catch the exception and do something smart in your case. In mine, there's semantic collision.
18:34
<@jerith>
Yeah, Ruby does what AD wants as well.
18:34
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
The correct solution, of course, is to either throw an error, or return false followed by an error message~
18:34
<@jerith>
And it's bitten me *hard*.
18:34
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Likewise for me in C,.
18:35 * AnnoDomini doesn't need to distinguish between garbage and 0.
18:35
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Being unable to distinguish between garbage input and the user typing "0" is Not A Feature.

18:35
<@jerith>
But some of us do.
18:35
<@AnnoDomini>
Eh.
18:35
<@jerith>
Because 0 is a number.
18:35
<@jerith>
And it's a perfectly valid number for a lot of situations.
18:36
<@jerith>
My solution? Run the input through a regex to check validity first. Then treat 0 as 0.
