Name
near - Determine whether two values are roughly equal.
Parameters
near.N.scale float rw (default: 1)
near.N.difference float rw (default: 0)
Pins
near.N.in1 float in
near.N.in2 float in
near.N.out bit out
out is true if in1 and in2 are within a factor of scale (i.e., for in1 positive, in1/scale <= in2
<= in1*scale), OR if their absolute difference is no greater than difference (i.e., |in1-in2| <=
difference). out is false otherwise.
