Additional tests for numbers-related skills

[rmurphey]

• dealing with inaccuracies re decimals
• binary operations
• "random" number between two numbers

[jacobroufa]

@rmurphey is this still a valid issue? I see that there are number tests that deal both with decimal accuracy and binary operations. What more had you envisioned when writing this issue?

hey @notno! could you... clarify? (trying to discern if this is spam, but your profile looks legit so maybe this is a butt-comment or an encoding issue?)

[rmurphey]

@jacobroufa I'm not sure what I meant by this 2.5 years ago :) If it seems resolved, it's probably resolved.

👍 closing per @rmurphey's comment

[jamesplease]

I understood @rmurphey 's comment to be an 'if we feel this is done, then it is done,' rather than an 'okay this is done.'

Although we might not know the specifics of the original intention of the post, the post does list three specific types of skills to test:

1. bitwise operators
2. floating point arithmetic
3. pseudo-randomness

looking at the answers, we test for one here and here, and two here. What's absent is the third thing on the list, so if we think that it's important to test that, then we might want to reopen this.

tho' to be honest I can't think of a solid way to test a random number generator :P

word @jmeas, i'm gonna keep this closed and open a new issue just for the randomness. it's hard to test random number generation, but not impossible? i figure we can have that a convo in another thread
