==Can of worms==
uh-oh, you've opened a can of words here. I can remember in the far distant pathpast, being lectured to about floating point/equality/closeness and I resolved to run and hide if I could in the future :-)<br>
Firstly, you can't leave people to find out how Python does it, if you want them to use a specific method then you need to add the description to the task.<br>
Second. Approximation depends on circumstances. If the compared vary exponentially ar non-linearly, or ... then one may end up with different, but more usable definitions of approximately equal.<br>
