Function std.math.operations.approxEqual
Computes whether a values is approximately equal to a reference value, admitting a maximum relative difference, and a maximum absolute difference.
bool approxEqual(T, U, V)
(
T value,
U reference,
V maxRelDiff = 0.01,
V maxAbsDiff = 1e-05
);
Warning
This template is considered out-dated. It will be removed from
Phobos in 2.106.0. Please use isClose
instead. To achieve
a similar behaviour to approxEqual(a, b)
use
isClose(a, b, 1e-2, 1e-5)
. In case of comparing to 0.0,
isClose(a, b, 0.0, eps)
should be used, where eps
represents the accepted deviation from 0.0."
Parameters
Name | Description |
---|---|
value | Value to compare. |
reference | Reference value. |
maxRelDiff | Maximum allowable difference relative to reference .
Setting to 0.0 disables this check. Defaults to 1e-2 . |
maxAbsDiff | Maximum absolute difference. This is mainly usefull
for comparing values to zero. Setting to 0.0 disables this check.
Defaults to 1e-5 . |
Returns
true
if value
is approximately equal to reference
under
either criterium. It is sufficient, when value
satisfies
one of the two criteria.
If one item is a range, and the other is a single value, then
the result is the logical and-ing of calling approxEqual
on
each element of the ranged item against the single item. If
both items are ranges, then approxEqual
returns true
if
and only if the ranges have the same number of elements and if
approxEqual
evaluates to true
for each pair of elements.
