Pattern: Forbidden value for floating-point number

Issue: -

Description

Use this rule to limit the permitted values for floating-point numbers. YAML permits three classes of float expressions: approximation to real numbers, positive and negative infinity and “not a number”.

Options

• Use require-numeral-before-decimal to require floats to start with a numeral (ex 0.0 instead of .0).
• Use forbid-scientific-notation to forbid scientific notation.
• Use forbid-nan to forbid NaN (not a number) values.
• Use forbid-inf to forbid infinite values.

Default values (when enabled)

rules:
  float-values:
    forbid-inf: false
    forbid-nan: false
    forbid-scientific-notation: false
    require-numeral-before-decimal: false
