v2_6_3 - Show latest stable - 0 notes - Class: Float

<=>(p1) public

Returns -1, 0, or +1 depending on whether float is less than, equal to, or greater than real. This is the basis for the tests in the Comparable module.

The result of NaN <=> NaN is undefined, so an implementation-dependent value is returned.

nil is returned if the two values are incomparable.
