[swift-users] FloatingPoint equality ..

[Stephen Canon]

I should also point out:

(a) your code can be somewhat simpler in Swift. I would probably write something along the lines of:

func almostEqual<T: FloatingPoint>(_ a: T, _ b: T) -> Bool {
    return a >= b.nextDown && a <= b.nextUp
}

(b) one ULP is almost never a tolerance you want to use. It’s much too small for almost all computations, and too large for most of the remaining ones.
