When using python max function, try doing max(-0.0, 0.0).
What do you think the results will be?

Most computers, including those running Python, adhere to the IEEE 754 standard for representing floating-point numbers (numbers with decimals). This standard defines how numbers are stored in memory using bits.
The standard includes both positive zero (+0.0) and negative zero (-0.0). They have the same numerical value (zero), but differ in their sign bit.

According to python max function, if both values are the same, the max function returns the first value as the max, hence max(-0.0,0.0) returns -1 in python.
