πŸ’– casacore_floatcheck πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the casacore_floatcheck page, part of the General Commands Manual situation, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, big brain energy." 🧚✨


✨ NAME ✨

casacore_floatcheck β€” check files within floating point accuracy 🌸


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

casacore_floatcheck input output [tolerance]

like... three things. you got this. 🫢


πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so here's the tea: casacore_floatcheck compares two text files for equality. iconic behaviour, no notes.

but the moment numbers don't match, it doesn't just ghost them β€” it checks whether they're near each other. like, close enough bestie. πŸ₯Ήβœ¨

the tolerance can be given as the third argument, tolerance, and if you don't pass one? it defaults to 1e-5. periodt. πŸ‘‘

ngl, floating point is chaos and exact equality is a scam β€” that's literally the whole reason this exists. πŸ’€
