Well, it’s not -0 exactly, it’s -0.00000006…something. How else would you want a small negative float number represented?

ik but it annoys me seeing the -0 beforehand
What else would like it to show instead?

Negative zero is indeed a thing in floating point numbers though, as well as positive/negative infinity and NaN (not a number). This isn’t unique to godot but floating point numbers in general (at least all the formats of floating point numbers I’ve ever used).

You should need to put it in “General” category instead of “Showcase”.
Also I think this is not a thing to fun, it’s common. So it is better if you create this post in reddit instead of forum. Reddit of Godot has a category of “Fun & Meme”.

But 0 is not the same as 0.00000006 and not the same as -0.00000006

Think of positive and negative as just different directions rather than amounts.

thats still valid though since its not really a zero zero

Negative zero is a thing but its usually meant that it isnt exactly zero but the resolution inst available to give a precise value.

jan Misali’s got a pretty good video explaining the IEEE-754 floating point spec - it goes through all its decisions and some of the reasons they’re like that

sure ill watch
but if 0 is a number telling u that a number is too small than wouldn’t -0 be = to 0
In your screenshot there is never -0. There are other negative values close to zero, but never exactly zero.
