This solution compares the normalized (i.e. between 0.5 and 1 on implementations which use binary floating point) significands of the floating point numbers, correcting each significand by half the difference in the exponents so that the corrected numbers used for comparison have the same difference in order of magnitude as the original numbers and are stable when the order of the arguments is changed. Unlike the metric of comparing the difference to some fraction of the numbers' size, this approach only requires a singletwo floating point operationoperations (the subtraction and comparison at the end), and more directly maps to the fundamental issue which leads to the need for floating-point comparisons, i.e. the limited precision of the significand.

The <code>~</code> word takes three arguments: the two values to be compared, and an epsilon value representing the allowed distance between the two values. A positive epsilon performs an absolute distance test, an epsilon of zero performs an exact comparison, and a negative epsilon performs a relative distance test (as required by this task).

Traditionally I have always just used sprintf() to compare floating point atoms in phix.<br>
This task (imo) is trying to make a general-purpose routine out of code (ie bool eq) which is best tailored for each and every specific task.<br>
It proved much harder to get decent-looking output than perform the tests, hence I allowed both the compare (cfmt) and display (dfmt) formats to be overridden.<br>
I got a different result for test 4 to everyone else, but simply setting the cfmt to "%.8f10f" got it the NOT.<br>
Likewise something similar for the trickier/ambiguous test 5, for which "0.000000" is as good as anything I can do, and both now show how to get either a true or false result.

In Racket, a number literal with decimal point is considered a flonum, an inexact number which could be either 30 or 62 bits depending on machines. By prefixing the literal with <code>#e</code>, it is now considered an exact, rational number. In this task, we test the approximate equality on both variants:

Two values can be compared for approximate equality by using the built-in operator '''≅''', available in ASCII as '''=~=''', which does approximate comparison by rounding both operands at '''(PREC>>2)-1''' decimals. However, by default, Sidef uses a floating-point precision of 192 bits.
