Issue #13848 has been updated by kernigh (George Koehler). `Float('200.')` also raises ArgumentError. In this way, BigDecimal.new seems consistent with Float. But it's strange that `Float('200hello world')` raises ArgumentError but `BigDecimal.new('200hello world')` succeeds. ---------------------------------------- Bug #13848: BigDecimal.new('200.') raises an exception https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13848#change-66520 * Author: ddoherty03 (Daniel Doherty) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.4.1p111 (2017-03-22 revision 58053) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- BigDecimal.new('200.') raises an exception: ArgumentError: invalid value for BigDecimal(): "200." It should accept this as a valid decimal number. This requires fixing numbers read in from the wild. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
