Edit Question
Title
Body
I was working on Project Euler 40 , and was a bit bothered that there was no int.Parse(char) . Not a big deal, but I did some asking around and someone suggested char.GetNumericValue . GetNumericValue seems like a very odd method to me: Takes in a char as a parameter and returns... a double? Returns -1.0 if the char is not '0' through '9' So what's the reasoning behind this method, and what purpose does returning a double serve? I even fired up Reflector and looked at InternalGetNumericValue , but it's just like watching Lost: every answer just leads to another question.
