SKILL arithmetic comparisons

sri125

 SKILL is notorious for the way it stores numbers in memory. e.g variable w, which

should be 0.4 gets stored as 0.3999999999999 or something like that.

 

So when you use it in 'if-else' loop like:

if( w == 0.4 then 

    block good;

else

   block bad;

 )

 

You will end up in block bad unless you do something like

 

abs( w - 0.4 ) < 0.000001 

or something like above.

 

Is there an elegant way to handle this in SKILL ?

 

thanks
