Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: [change] lets some duplicates thru
Initial Comment: Sometimes some duplicates get through [change] since it is doing a != for the comparison. Instead it should do a comparison with a set precision, something like this:
http://howto.wikia.com/wiki/Howto_compare_float_numbers_in_the_C_programming...
//compares if the float f1 is equal with f2 and returns 1 if true and 0 if false int compare_float(float f1, float f2) { float precision = 0.00001; if (((f1 - precision) < f2) && ((f1 + precision) > f2)) { return 1; } else { return 0; } }
