digitalmars.D.learn - The best way to compare floating point values.

I wrote this function for comparing two floating point values:

 import std.math;
 import std.traits;
 
 bool isEqual(T)(T v1, T v2) if(isFloatingPoint!T) {
   return T.mant_dig - feqrel(v1, v2) < 2;
 }
What do you think about it?

I wrote a similar function here: https://github.com/nomad-software/dunit/blob/master/source/dunit/toolkit.d#L42 or using an epsilon value: https://github.com/nomad-software/dunit/blob/master/source/dunit/toolkit.d#L134 I don't know if they are useful to you?

Very interesting. Thanks.

There is an approxEqual in std.math, in addition in feqrel:



It takes maximum absolute and relative difference as arguments.
