almost-equal
============
Checks when two floats are almost equal.

Use
===
First install using npm:

    npm install almost-equal

    

Then use as follows:


```javascript

var almostEqual = require("almost-equal")



var a = 100

  , b = 100 + 1e-12



//Check if a == b up to float precision

console.log(almostEqual(a, b, almostEqual.FLT_EPSILON, almostEqual.FLT_EPSILON))



//Check if a == b up to double precision

console.log(almostEqual(a, b, almostEqual.DBL_EPSILON, almostEqual.DBL_EPSILON))

```

### `almostEqual(a, b[, absoluteTolerance [, relativeTolerance]])`
Checks if two floats are within the given tolerances of one another using the formula:

    |a - b| < max(absoluteTolerance, min(|a|, |b|) * relativeTolerance)


* `a` and `b` are the two numbers to comapre
* `absoluteTolerance` is a fixed minimal tolerance (set to 0 to ignore)
* `relativeTolerance` is a tolerance that scales with a/b (set to 0 to ignore)

**Returns** `true` if `a` and `b` are approximately equal.

If tolerance argument is omitted, `almostEqual.DBL_EPSILON` value is used by default.

### `almostEqual.FLT_EPSILON`

Floating point (32-bit) epsilon



### `almostEqual.DBL_EPSILON`
Double precision (64-bit) epsilon
