Compare two numeric vectors
Description
This is a safe way of comparing if two vectors of floating point numbers are (pairwise) equal. This is safer than
using ==, because it has a built in tolerance.
Usage
near(x, y, tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.5)
Arguments
x, y
Numeric vectors to compare
tol
Tolerance of comparison.
Examples
sqrt(2) ^ 2 == 2
near(sqrt(2) ^ 2, 2)
