To compare the floating point values, we use a relative tolerance.
 
 
In order to display the values “a” and “b” as provided, without any rounding, we transmit them as strings to a comparison procedure which compute the floating point values. If the first value “a” is provided as an operation, we use a comparison procedure which accepts the computed value of “a” as second parameter. Here, “b” is never provided as an operation and can always be transmitted as a string.

import strformat
import strutils
 
const Tolerance = 1e-10
 
proc `~=`(a, b: float): bool =
## Check if "a" and "b" are closed.
## We use a relative tolerance to compare the values.
result = abs(a - b) < max(abs(a), abs(b)) * Tolerance
 
proc compare(a, b: string) =
## Compare "a" and "b" transmitted as strings.
## Values are computed using "parseFloat".
let r = a.parseFloat() ~= b.parseFloat()
echo fmt"{a} ~= {b} is {r}"
 
proc compare(a: string; avalue: float; b: string) =
## Compare "a" and "b" transmitted as strings.
## The value of "a" is transmitted and not computed.
let r = avalue ~= b.parseFloat()
echo fmt"{a} ~= {b} is {r}"
