Detailed Description

An extension to floating point primitives providing approximate equality.

Allows a programmer to ignore issues of rounding errors on floating point numbers by specifying that two floating point numbers are equivalent if they are equal within a small number "delta". This can help to eliminate errors in floating point logic.
