Parameters

Description

Compares two floating point values if they are similar.

Due to floating point imprecision it is not recommended to compare floats using the equal operator. eg. 1.0 == 10.0 / 10.0 might not return true.

	if (Mathf.Approximately(1.0, 10.0/10.0))
		print ("same");
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Example() {
        if (Mathf.Approximately(1.0F, 10.0F / 10.0F))
            print("same");
        
    }
}
