Mathf.Epsilon

Description

A tiny floating point value (Read Only).

The smallest value that a float can have different from zero.

With the following rules:

- anyValue + Epsilon = anyValue
- anyValue - Epsilon = anyValue
- 0 + Epsilon = Epsilon
- 0 - Epsilon = -Epsilon


A value Between any number and Epsilon will result in an arbitrary number due to truncating errors.

See Also: Mathf.Approximately.

// Compares two floating point numbers and return true if they are the same number.
// See also Mathf.Approximately, which compares floating point numbers so you dont have
// to create a function to compare them.

function isEqual(a: float, b : float) {
    if(a >= b-Mathf.Epsilon && a <= b + Mathf.Epsilon)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}
