Ian Hickson: > How do I know when to use float or double, for types that are supposed to > represent infinite range? Should I just make everything double? If you want more range, sure, use double. Web IDL doesn’t have an arbitrary precision numeric type. But double specifically means 64-bit IEEE 754 double precision floating point, here, which is just what JS Number is (except for the NaNs). -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
