Add a tolerance argument to has_equal_value() #376

Open richierocks opened 5 years ago

richierocks commented 5 years ago

Checking that two numbers are equal within a specified tolerance is currently a bit clunky and prone to error.

See this example of it being done wrong.

Having a tolerance argument would save messing about writing custom equality functions.
