Yes, I'm sorry if this was confusing, it was the only method I had and works well. This is the same as an evaluation within a fuzzyEpsilon error period, except that error period changes according to the precision of the numbers being evaluated. corey On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 01:33:55 +0200, Antonio Coralles <noche.suapie@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Eljay Love-Jensen wrote: > > > Hi Antonio, > > > >>What value of fuzzyEpsilon is appropriate for float / long double ?
