Sometimes, when testing whether the solution to a task (for example, here on Rosetta Code) is correct, the
Line 7:
about the 8th significant digit in base 10 arithmetic.
;Task:
Create a function which returns true if two floating point numbers are approximately equal.
The function should allow for differences in the magnitude of numbers, so that, for example,
<br>even though '''100.01''' is not approximately equal to '''100.011'''.
If the language has such a feature in its standard library, this may be used instead of a custom function.
Show the function results with comparisons on the following pairs of values:
:
:
:
:
:
:
:
:
<br/>
Answers should be true for the first example and false in the second, so that just rounding the numbers to a fixed number of decimals should not be enough. Otherwise answers may vary and still be correct. See the Python code for one type of solution.

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 two floating point operations (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).

Attributed to Ken Iverson, inventor of APL and of course his final dialect, j,
"In an early talk Ken was explaining the advantages of tolerant comparison. A member of the audience asked incredulously, “Surely you don’t mean that when A=B and B=C, A may not equal C?” Without skipping a beat, Ken replied, “Any carpenter knows that!” and went on to the next question."
J includes a "customization" conjunction ( !. ) that delivers variants of some verbs. Comparisons are tolerant by default, and their tolerance can be customized to some level. Specifying =!.0 specifies "no tolerance". Specifying a tolerance of 1e_8 is a domain error because that's no longer math. Write your own verb if you need this.

To compare the floating point values, we use a relative tolerance.
In order to display the values “a” and “b” as provided, without any rounding, we transmit them as strings to a comparison procedure which compute the floating point values. If the first value “a” is provided as an operation, we use a comparison procedure which accepts the computed value of “a” as second parameter. Here, “b” is never provided as an operation and can always be transmitted as a string.

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 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 "%.10f" 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.

The Python source documentation states:
<pre>
math.isclose -> bool
a: double
b: double
*
rel_tol: double = 1e-09
maximum difference for being considered "close", relative to the
magnitude of the input values
abs_tol: double = 0.0
maximum difference for being considered "close", regardless of the
magnitude of the input values
Determine whether two floating point numbers are close in value.
Return True if a is close in value to b, and False otherwise.
For the values to be considered close, the difference between them
must be smaller than at least one of the tolerances.
-inf, inf and NaN behave similarly to the IEEE 754 Standard. That
is, NaN is not close to anything, even itself. inf and -inf are
only close to themselves.

The base library has the function all.equal() for this task. However, when the numbers are not equal, rather than return FALSE, it tries to explain the difference. To fix this, we use isTRUE(all.equal(....)) instead.

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:

Is approximately equal to is a built-in operator in
Most of the following tests are somewhat pointless in Raku. To a large extent, when dealing with Rational values, you don't really need to worry about "approximately equal to", and all of the test values below, with the exception of <code>sqrt(2)</code>, are Rats by default, and exact. You would have to specifically coerce them to Nums (floating point) to lose the precision.
For example, in Raku, the sum of .1, .2, .3, & .4 is ''identically'' equal to 1.
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>say 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.4 === 1.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000; # True</syntaxhighlight>
It's also ''approximately'' equal to 1 but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Floats are 64 bit and have the closeTo method, which takes a comparison value

If tolerance is <0 (and x!=0 and y!=0), the comparison is relative.
