#30761 closed Bug (fixed)

The floatformat filter sometimes returns "-0" instead of "0".

Description

For values between 0 and -0.5, the floatformat filter returns "-0" where I would expect it to return "0".

For example:

$ python -m django --version
2.2.5
$ ./manage.py shell
Python 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39) 
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import floatformat
>>> floatformat(-0.1, 0)
'-0'
>>> floatformat(-0.01, 1)
'-0.0'
>>> floatformat(-0.001, 2)
'-0.00'
>>> floatformat(-0.4, 0)
'-0'

If others agree that this is a bug, I'll submit a patch.

Summary: The floatformat filter sometimes returns "-0" instead of "0" → The floatformat filter sometimes returns "-0" instead of "0".

I don't think it's an issue, this behavior is consistent with builtin round() and -0 exists in floating-point arithmetic.
