Mathf.Epsilon

static var Epsilon: float;
static float Epsilon;
static Epsilon as float

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.
