In languages that doesn't give you support to arbitrary precision like Clojure do, it's a usual practice compare values using round functions.
In pseudo-C it would be like that: float a = 148.52 * 0.0256; float b = 3.802112; a == b; => false round(a, 5) == round(b, 5); => true Or, if possible, don't use float type. I saw some coworkers spend a whole night debugging until they figured that float trick. On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 10:17 AM, Rostislav Svoboda <rostislav.svob...@gmail.com> wrote: > I see.
