I had a suspicion that the double promotion is not buying us anything in that case, so I ran a quick test that seems to confirm it: ```java long equals = 0; long notEquals = 0; for (float f = -100; f <= 100; f = Math.nextUp(f)) { float a = (1f + f) / 2f; float b = (float) ((1d + f) / 2d); if (a == b) { equals++; } else { notEquals++; } } System.out.println("Equals: " + equals + ", NotEquals: " + notEquals); // Equals: 2240806913, NotEquals: 0 ``` So we don't need to promote to double and could just do `max(0, (1f + f) / 2f))`? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
