Type Coercion

ThaCuber: join lines and format as unordered list

'''WIP'''

Known type coercion rules:

* <c>null * 3 == #@!$</c> — Any statement that begins with `null` is a compiler error, but this may change in the future.
<c>(null)</c> is okay though.

* <c>3 * null == 0</c> — Multiplying by null yields 0.

* <c>3 / null == Infinity</c> — In division, null acts a lot like `0`.

* <c>3 + "3" == "33"</c> — If an expression contains a string, the entire expression will be coerced into a string.

* <c>"3" * 5 == "33333</c> — Multiplying a string by a number will replicate the string.

* <c>"1234" / 2 == "12"</c> — Dividing a string by a number will divide the length, then take a substring.

* <c>1/0 == "INF" | "Infinity"</c> — All numerical math is done according to standard IEEE floating-point rules, including well-defined behavior for Inf and NaN. However, conversion of Inf and NaN to a string is undefined (implementation-dependent).

ThaCuber: the

'''TestSuite.txt''' is the text file[https://github.com/joestrout/miniscript/blob/master/TestSuite.txt] used by the official Miniscript implementations to test new features and possible regressions, and to check the consistency of the results of other implementations with any Miniscript code fragment that runs correctly on the official ones and, consequently, with other supported implementations. It is not intended to be run directly through the command line interpreter.

== rename or redirect? ==

would it be better to rename this page to Infinity or to redirect searches for "Infinity" to it?

NaN

ThaCuber: State that NaNs come from the IEEE 754 standard, reword a bit, and add link to Sqrt

In general computing, '''NaN''' (standing for '''Not a Number''') is a special [[Number|numeric]] value that is returned as the result of an undefined operation, according to the IEEE 754 standard for floating point numbers.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN] It is the output of '''0/0''', or the [[Sqrt|square root]] of a negative number in Miniscript.

INF

ThaCuber: Created INF stub

In general computing, '''INF''', or just '''Infinity''', is a [[Number|numerical]] value that represents mathematical infinity, according to the IEEE 754 standard for floating point numbers.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754#Infinities] It is the output of most divisions-by-zero, except for [[NaN|0/0]], and [[Log|log]](0).
