Go float comparison [duplicate]

Answer 1

Don't use bit representation of float64 as it don't make sense in a lot of cases. Just subtract two numbers to find out how much they differ:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math"
)

const float64EqualityThreshold = 1e-9

func almostEqual(a, b float64) bool {
    return math.Abs(a - b) <= float64EqualityThreshold
}

func main() {
    a := 0.1
    b := 0.2
    fmt.Println(almostEqual(a + b, 0.3))
}
