Yes, but it's also worth remembering that in general, in computing, it's not a great idea to compare floats for absolute equality except for specific constants (e.g. +/- zero, +/- infinity, NaN). Is there an in-built intrinsic in Go for comparing floats within an epsilon, or does that have to be done manually? - Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
