or you could learn about how to do comparisons with floating point numbers
stronglikedan•1h ago
like multiplying them by the precision that you'd like to compare and comparing them as integers? /s
millipede•1h ago
Both ints and floats represent real, rational values, but every operation in no way matches math. Associative? No. Commutative? No. Partially Ordered? No. Weakly Ordered? No. Symmetric? No. Reflexive? No. Antisymmetric? No. Nothing.

The only reasonable way to compare rationals is the decimal expansion of the string.

threeducks•54m ago
What exactly do you say is not commutative? This Wikipedia article claims that at least floating-point addition and multiplication are both commutative:

it is for finite values, but because IEEE did some dumb things it isn't specified to be for NaN values (and on several architectures, isn't).

Careful, someone is liable to throw this in an LLM prompt and get back code expanding the ASCII characters for string values like "1/346".
