QUESTION: In the tutorial, the writer indicates that the min and max are optional per below.

min - specifies the min value (optional and does not apply to strings and bools) max - specifies the max value (optional and does not apply to strings and bools)

ISSUE: The issue I encountered when NOT specifying the min and max was the default values not initializing correctly. For example when I was expecting a doublet initial parameter of 0.0, I was getting -std::numericlimits::infinity() instead. Specifying a min and max resolved the issue. Is this expected?

Thank you.
