Subject: Comparing Floating Point Values

Message-ID: <1166026474.277616.267400@f1g2000cwa.googlegroups.com> (raw)

I was wondering if there was a convention for comparing 2 floats
dealing with significant digits. For example, if I had 2 variables (x
and y) and wanted to see if they were equal in an if statement, is
there a standard way to do a compare based on "x" significant digits?

Thank you.
