double CompareDoubles::Difference	(	double	number1,
		double	number2,
		bool	toleranceIsAbsolute
	)		`[static]`

Compute the relative or absolute difference between two numbers.

Parameters:

number1	the first number to compare
number2	the second number to compare
toleranceIsAbsolute	whether the tolerance is absolute (true) or relative (false)

Definition at line 175 of file MathsCustomFunctions.cpp.

bool CompareDoubles::IsNearZero	(	double	number,
		double	tolerance
	)		`[static]`

Test whether a number is close to zero, as defined by the given tolerance. A number equal in magnitude to the tolerance is OK.

Parameters:

number	the number to compare
tolerance	how close it must be

Definition at line 101 of file MathsCustomFunctions.cpp.

bool CompareDoubles::WithinAbsoluteTolerance	(	double	number1,
		double	number2,
		double	tolerance
	)		`[static]`

Test whether two numbers are close within the given absolute tolerance. A difference of exactly the tolerance is OK.

Parameters:

number1	the first number to compare
number2	the second number to compare
tolerance	the absolute tolerance to use

Definition at line 138 of file MathsCustomFunctions.cpp.

bool CompareDoubles::WithinAnyTolerance	(	double	number1,
		double	number2,
		double	relTol = `DBL_EPSILON`,
		double	absTol = `DBL_EPSILON`,
		bool	printError = `false`
	)		`[static]`

Test whether two numbers are close within the given tolerances. If either the relative or absolute tolerance is satisfied, then the result is true.

Parameters:

number1	the first number to compare
number2	the second number to compare
relTol	the relative tolerance to compare under
absTol	the absolute tolerance to compare under
printError	whether to print an error message to stdout

Definition at line 143 of file MathsCustomFunctions.cpp.

bool CompareDoubles::WithinRelativeTolerance	(	double	number1,
		double	number2,
		double	tolerance
	)		`[static]`

Test whether two numbers are close within the given relative tolerance.

Parameters:

number1	the first number to compare
number2	the second number to compare
tolerance	the relative tolerance to use

Definition at line 129 of file MathsCustomFunctions.cpp.

bool CompareDoubles::WithinTolerance	(	double	number1,
		double	number2,
		double	tolerance,
		bool	toleranceIsAbsolute
	)		`[static]`

Test whether two numbers are close within the given tolerance, and print an error message to stdout if not.

Parameters:

number1	the first number to compare
number2	the second number to compare
tolerance	the tolerance to use
toleranceIsAbsolute	whether the tolerance is absolute (true) or relative (false)
