.. hoc:data:: float_epsilon
Syntax:
``float_epsilon = 1e-11``
Description:
The default value is 1e-11
Allows somewhat safer logical comparisons and integer truncation for
floating point numbers. Most comparisons are treated as true if they are
within float_epsilon of being true. eg.
.. code-block::
none
for (i = 0; i < 1; i += .1) {
print i, int(10*i)
}
float_epsilon = 0
// two bugs due to roundoff
for (i = 0; i < 1; i += .1) {
print i, int(10*i)
}
.. warning::
I certainly haven't gotten every floating comparison in the program to use
``float_epsilon`` but I have most of them including all interpreter logical
operations, int, array indices, and Vector logic methods.
