Description

Hello.

The article

http://www.cygnus-software.com/papers/comparingfloats/comparingfloats.htm

proposes a robust way of comparing floating-point numbers (look for "AlmostEqual2sComplement").
It provides an implementation (in C) for type "float", which should be adapted to take 2 "double"s instead.
