instance method

Float#<=>

float <=> real → -1, 0, +1, or nil

Returns -1, 0, or +1 depending on whether float is less than, equal to, or greater than real. This is the basis for the tests in the Comparable module.

The result of NaN <=> NaN is undefined, so an implementation-dependent value is returned.

nil is returned if the two values are incomparable.
