public static float Epsilon;
Description
The smallest non-zero value that a float can represent.
Operations with Epsilon follow these 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 loss of trailing digits.
using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
// 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.
bool isEqual(float a, float b)
{
if (a >= b - Mathf.Epsilon && a <= b + Mathf.Epsilon)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
