| Name | Type | Description | Mandatory | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| e1 | Number | A floating point number to be compared with e2. |
yes | |
| e2 | Number | A floating point number to be compared to e1. |
yes | |
| precision | Number | A number that specifies how many decimal places to include. | yes |
Return value
Type: Boolean
true, if e1 is greater than e2.
Examples
Comparison with 4 decimal places
3.1314.isFloatGreater(3.1311, 4)
Output: true
Comparison with 2 decimal places
3.1314.isFloatGreater(3.1351, 2)
Output: false
By the given precision = 2 the numbers 3.14 and 3.14 are compared to each other, which are the same.
