Checks when two floats are almost equal.

First install using npm:

npm install almost-equal

Then use as follows:

var almostEqual = require("almost-equal")

var a = 100
  , b = 100   1e-12

//Check if a == b up to float precision
console.log(almostEqual(a, b, almostEqual.FLT_EPSILON, almostEqual.FLT_EPSILON))

//Check if a == b up to double precision
console.log(almostEqual(a, b, almostEqual.DBL_EPSILON, almostEqual.DBL_EPSILON))

Checks if two floats are within the given tolerances of one another using the formula:

|a - b| < max(absoluteTolerance, min(|a|, |b|) * relativeTolerance)

• a and b are the two numbers to comapre
• absoluteTolerance is a fixed minimal tolerance (set to 0 to ignore)
• relativeTolerance is a tolerance that scales with a/b (set to 0 to ignore)

Returns true if a and b are approximately equal.

If tolerance argument is omitted, almostEqual.DBL_EPSILON value is used by default.

Floating point (32-bit) epsilon

Double precision (64-bit) epsilon
