isSameValue

Test if two double-precision floating-point numbers are the same value.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/number-float64-base-assert-is-same-value

Usage

var isSameValue = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-assert-is-same-value' );

isSameValue( a, b )

Tests if two double-precision floating-point numbers a and b are the same value.

var bool = isSameValue( 3.14, 3.14 );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( 5.0, 3.0 );
// returns false

In contrast to the strict equality operator ===, the function distinguishes between +0 and -0 and treats NaNs as the same value.

var bool = ( 0.0 === -0.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( 0.0, -0.0 );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( -0.0, -0.0 );
// returns true

bool = ( NaN === NaN );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( NaN, NaN );
// returns true

Notes

• The function implements the SameValue Algorithm as specified in ECMAScript 5.

Examples

var isSameValue = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-assert-is-same-value' );

var bool = isSameValue( 3.14, 3.14 );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( 0.0, 0.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( -0.0, 0.0 );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( NaN, NaN );
// returns true

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/number/float64/base/assert/is_same_value.h"

stdlib_base_float64_is_same_value( a, b )

Tests if two double-precision floating-point numbers a and b are the same value.

#include <stdbool.h>

bool v = stdlib_base_float64_is_same_value( 3.14, 3.14 );
// returns true

v = stdlib_base_float64_is_same_value( 0.0, -0.0 );
// returns false

The function accepts the following arguments:

• a: [in] double first input value.
• b: [in] double second input value.

bool stdlib_base_float64_is_same_value( const double a, const double b );

Examples

#include "stdlib/number/float64/base/assert/is_same_value.h"
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double a[] = {
        5.0,
        -2.0,
        0.0,
        0.0/0.0
    };
    const double b[] = {
        5.0,
        2.0,
        -0.0,
        0.0/0.0
    };

    bool v;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        v = stdlib_base_float64_is_same_value( a[ i ], b[ i ] );
        printf( "Same value? %s\n", ( v ) ? "True" : "False" );
    }
}
