Does float have a negative zero? (-0f)

Question

IEEE floating point numbers have a bit assigned to indicate the sign, which means you can technically have different binary representations of zero (+0 and -0). Is there an

Answer 1

this float1 == 0.0f is never really a safe comparison.

if you have something like

float x = 0.0f;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) x += 0.1f;
x -= 1.0f;
assert (x == 0.0f);

it will fail even though it is seemingly supposed to be 0.
