September 23But then there may be people arguing in the other direction; that JSON does not in fact support numbers. After all, surds, imaginary and complex numbers exist, and they cannot be represented using JSON’s number grammars.
Good points, and you are right, the intent of the question is to make sure people know the scope of number as a datatype. Also, I had forgotten all about surds, and what they are. Thanks.
But it would take only a very few words, maybe one, to make the question folly accurate, and it would not make it harder to understand, even at the foundation level. Me, I am a logic chopper, and often annoy people as result. In science, I have often found that it does no harm and sometimes help to use the exact right words.
