Why is it saying -0.85 is not greater than Float.MIN_VALE?

Have you executed the code and seen, what actually happens?

[blissful urchin]

yeah the inside of the if statement never runs (i can tell visually because all objects have no scale)

if i remove the if statement but keep the scale setting stuff thats inside it than they do have scale

so -0.85 is genuinely being counted as greater than Float.MIN_VALUE

i dont need the if statement at all im just wondering why it does that

[sour vault]

Hmmm, is scaleoffset a double or a float?

[blissful urchin]

float:

public Entity(EntityType type, Matrix4f matrix, float scaleOffset) {
    if (scaleOffset > Float.MIN_VALUE) {
        this.matrix.scale(this.type.size + scaleOffset);
    }

[sour vault]

Okay that is really weird. I mean, print out Float.MIN_VALUE?

Right before the if

-0.07886315 is less than or equal to 1.4E-45
-0.4054676 is less than or equal to 1.4E-45
-0.61426634 is less than or equal to 1.4E-45
-0.5344303 is less than or equal to 1.4E-45
-0.5856453 is less than or equal to 1.4E-45
-0.51595694 is less than or equal to 1.4E-45
-0.581792 is less than or equal to 1.4E-45
-0.50864005 is less than or equal to 1.4E-45

public Entity(EntityType type, Matrix4f matrix, float scaleOffset) {
    this.type = type;
    this.matrix = matrix;
    if (scaleOffset > Float.MIN_VALUE) {
        this.matrix.scale(this.type.size + scaleOffset);
    } else {
        System.out.println(scaleOffset+" is less than or equal to "+Float.MIN_VALUE);
    }
}

Interesting

[blissful urchin]

ohhh

float's MIN_VALUE isnt the min value

its the min positive value

[sour vault]

Jup

But i didn't know either

[blissful urchin]

ig to get the real min value id just need to do -Float.MAX_VALUE
