class _DoNothing:
"""
When doing numeric work, especially with floats, exact equality is often
not what you want. Due to round-off error, it is often a bad idea to try
to compare floats with equality. Instead the usual procedure is to test
them with some (hopefully small!) allowance for error.
The ``approx_equal`` function allows you to specify either an absolute
error tolerance, or a relative error, or both.
Absolute error tolerances are simple, but you need to know the magnitude
of the quantities being compared:
>>> approx_equal(12.345, 12.346, tol=1e-3)
True
>>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, tol=1e-3) # tol is too small.
False
Relative errors are more suitable when the values you are comparing can
vary in magnitude:
>>> approx_equal(12.345, 12.346, rel=1e-4)
True
>>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, rel=1e-4)
True
but a naive implementation of relative error testing can run into trouble
around zero.
If you supply both an absolute tolerance and a relative error, the
comparison succeeds if either individual test succeeds:
>>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, tol=1e-3, rel=1e-4)
True
