Instance Method Details

- (Boolean) fuzzy_equal?(other, error_max = 0.000001)

Fuzzy comparison of Floats. Example:

(98.6).fuzzy_equal?(98.66)          => false
(98.6).fuzzy_equal?(98.66, 0.001)   => true

Parameters:

  • other (Float) —

    Value to compare with

  • error_max (Float) (defaults to: 0.000001) —

    Maximum relative error

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
