public static bool Approximately(float a, float b)

Parameters

a

float

b

float

Returns

Type

Description

bool

Remarks

Floating point imprecision makes comparing floats using the equals operator inaccurate. For example, 
(1.0 == 10.0 / 10.0)
might not return true every time. Approximately() compares two floats and returns true if they are within a small value (Mathf.Epsilon) of each other.

Examples

using UnityEngine;public class ScriptExample : MonoBehaviour{    void Start()    {        if (Mathf.Approximately(1.0f, 10.0f / 10.0f))        {            print("The values are approximately the same");        }    }}
