Introduction

We will present some of the trade-offs for computation of IEEE arithmetic for REAL_64 and REAL_32 as implemented in EiffelStudio where NaN is not an unordered value but a value less than all the other values (note that in some other frameworks, we have seen it defined as the largest value).
