At a certain stage during program run, (single) variables A and B have values:
A = 4.95
B = 5
At these statement
B-A is 0.05 so 'That' should be done. Instead, 'This' is done. I checked the values of A and B and they were the above. However, the value of B-A turned out to be 0.050002 and that's why.
So in order to circumvent this problem I could work with integers, for example 100 times larger so the test would be:
If B-A > 5
for integer values A = 495 and B = 500.
When at a later stage the values are used for some intended purpose, they are simply multiplied by 0.01. But this would mean a great deal of changes in the code and I'd rather use some other trick if available and easy enough.
