isapprox
isapprox(x, y; rtol::Real=sqrt(eps), atol::Real=0)
Inexact equality comparison: true if norm(x-y) <= atol + rtol*max(norm(x), norm(y)). The default atol is zero and the default rtol depends on the types of x and y.
For real or complex floating-point values, rtol defaults to sqrt(eps(typeof(real(x-y)))). This corresponds to requiring equality of about half of the significand digits. For other types, rtol defaults to zero.
x and y may also be arrays of numbers, in which case norm defaults to vecnorm but may be changed by passing a norm::Function keyword argument. (For numbers, norm is the same thing as abs.)
The binary operator ≈ is equivalent to isapprox with the default arguments, and x ≉ y is equivalent to !isapprox(x,y).
