Re: [Bug-apl] Fuzzy Floor and Ceiling

[Jay Foad]

I don't know anything about the GNU APL implementation, but I can tell
you that the definition of tolerant-floor changed between standard APL
(ISO 8485) and Extended APL (ISO 13751). In ISO 8485 the tolerance is
relative, so both your examples should definitely return 5. In
Extended APL the tolerance is absolute, so both your examples are
right on the cusp of whether they should return 5 or the next integer
up/down.
