# Approximately(float, float)

> Compares two floating point values and returns true if they are similar.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public static bool Approximately(float a, float b)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[float]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single)): **** (\[float]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single)): 

### Returns

| Type                                                          | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean) |             |

### 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](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/mathf/epsilon.md)) of each other.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

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