<P class="first-line-indented">These tools are used to check <I>left</I> and <I>right</I> values
on closeness using strong relationship defined by the predicate <A href="../floating_point_comparison.html" target="_top">close_at_tolerance
</A>( tolerance_src ). To check for the weak relationship use <A href="BOOST_CHECK_PREDICATE.html">BOOST_&lt;level&gt;_PREDICATE</A>
tools. Note that to use these tools you need to include additional header<A href="../../../../../../boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp">
floating_point_comparison.hpp</A>. </P>
<P class="first-line-indented">The first parameter is the <I>left</I> compared
value. The second parameter is the <I>right</I> compared value. Last third parameter defines the tolerance for
the comparison in percentage units. For more details how to treat this value
see <A href="../floating_point_comparison.html" target="_top">close_at_tolerance </A>description.
Note that it required for <I>left</I> and <I>right</I> parameters to be of the same floating point
type. You need to explicitly resolve any type mismatch to select which type to use for comparison.</P>
