💖 NAME 💖

Test2::Compare::Float — compare two values as numbers with tolerance. Yep, bestie, this is the Test2::Compare::Float(3pm) page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and it's giving precise-but-chill number matching ✨💅.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so this little icon is used to compare two numbers. You can also check that two numbers are not the same. It's similar to Test2::Compare::Number, but with extra checks to work around floating point representation issues 🦋. iykyk.

The optional 'tolerance' parameter controls how close the two numbers must be to be considered equal. Tolerance defaults to 1e-08 — periodt 👑.

Note: this will fail if the received value is undefined. It must be a number, no cap. 💀
Note: this will fail if the comparison generates a non-numeric value warning (which will not be shown). Why? Because it must get a number. The warning is not shown as it will report to a useless line and filename. However, the test diagnostics show both values. So the tea is still there, just not in the warning 🙈.
