  • Status: closed

  • Summary:

    BNF rules allow for a real “0”
  • Reported: UML 2.4.1 — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    That is true. After all, “0” is a real number. In fact, the BNF allows any natural-literal to be used as a real-literal.
    The textual syntax for real-literals is provided for the purpose of displaying LiteralReals in a model, and there is no
    requirement that it be unambiguously parsable as a means of entry of literals by a tool.
    Disposition: Closed - No Change
