Just out of curiosity, I believe the difference between
doubleToRawBits
anddoubleToBits
is how they handle NaN, whether they convert a given NaN to an integer using its bit pattern (raw), or if they use the bit pattern of a "normalized" NaN (like the result of 0.0 / 0.0).If I understand correctly, are there any use cases for the
toRawBits
version?Also, is it correct that "raw" NaNs typically being caused only from calculations, and as a rule of thumb, we should use normalized NaN (0.0/0.0) when we use NaNs as constants?

Yes, that's correct. The specific normalized bit pattern is even spelled out in the JavaDoc.
The typical use case is if you want to implement "NaN-boxing", by storing actual data in the various payloads of NaNs. But IMO a much safer way to do that is to manipulate the
Long
s everywhere, and only bit-concert toDouble
when you know it's a number.I have yet to see a compelling use case for the raw variants, TBH.
