Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2450)Precisely-represented Integers not differentiated from Imprecise Integers
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2450?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18237#action_18237 ]
Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2450:
-----------------------------------------
No, ideas from the comments have not been rolled-up into the proposal yet. I will take another run at this before April 1.
I also have some interesting empirical results. For one thing, using n = INT(n) fails for some implementations of INT that don't like large exact integers. However, I have found that FLOOR(n,1)=CEILING(n,1) to be quite reliable in limited testing, so long as n is not negative (or complex [;<). I must do a little more confirmation work.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: OpenFormula
> Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 Part 2 CD 1
> Environment: This issue applies in all OpenFormula drafts through draft-19.

> The definition of Integer includes a wide range of values that have no fractional part but that are too large to represent integers precisely, there being gaps and even no non-Integer Number values in their vicinity.
> This prevents careful limitation and definition of those functions that require precise integer values to be specified for parameters and to be determined as results. It also leads to ambiguity and situations such as those illustrated in OFFICE-2209, OFFICE-846, and others invovling specific functions that are only meaningful when precise integer values are involved.
