absolutely, and I think there was a wide range of opinions about how usefull (and or critical!) this is.
numarray allows one to customize how errors are handled. You can choose:
- to silently ignore all errors.
- print a warning message (default)
- raise an exception.
One may separately set one of these three behaviors for each of the 4 ieee categories of floating point errors, namely
- invalid results (i.e., NaNs)
- divide by zeros (Infs)
- overflows
- underflows
Fabulous!!! You folks are wonderfull! I guess it's time to make the switch to numarray...I've been waiting for a compelling reason!
