Question:

I have two timedate columns with a difference of less than an hour.* If I put the raw input into a days_between, depending on what order I either get 0.0 or -0.0.

Is the negative intended or a bug? There's something called a signed zero but I don't quite understand what it means.

I tried multiplying to see what would happen but still got -0.0.

* 2022-03-19 02:03:12+00:00 and 2022-03-19 03:00:00+00:00 exactly.
