From 9b2f49166b73cef360cff0682459a0aa3e6ec8d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Craig Small Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2023 17:20:42 +1100 Subject: tests: Dont compare floats with == Comparing floats with == is bad and I should feel bad I did this. The problem is if something is close to, but not quite the exact same fails tests. I have used an epsilon of 1 because we don't care about accuracy, just that the function works well enough.
