This updates the signature for
Kernel#Float
.The way the code checks for
Float
is pretty interesting:Integer
,Float
, orRational
, then it's immediately converted to a float and returned.String
, then it callsrb_str_to_dbl()
, passing along whether an exception should occur.to_f
method is called on the argument.Note that if
exception: false
is given, the return value may benil
. In addition, whenexception: false
is supplied, any type can be given for the first argument, but the return value is alwaysnil
.
