Hi!

I've a slightly awkward comparison, where I have two numbers of
differing precisions, and I want to regard them as the same if the
less preicse is the more precise rounded down to the same precision.

Examples are: 17.166666666666668 ~= 17.1666666666667 and
8.333333333333334 ~= 8.33333333333333

Unfortunately, the precision is not always the same for all the
numbers I'm trying to compare.

I just wondered if anyone on this list had done anything similar, and
had a good way of doing it, while I try and figure out a suitable way
to do it.

Yours,

Clint Redwood.
