26 //! An extension to floating point primitives providing approximate equality.
28 Allows a programmer to ignore issues of rounding errors on floating point
29 numbers by specifying that two floating point numbers are equivalent if
30 they are equal within a small number "delta". This can help to eliminate
31 errors in floating point logic.
