Problem Note 13622: Floating point comparisions incorrect with large literal values
Floating point comparisions may provide false results due to internal
rounding. This was observed in comparisons with large internal values.
For example:
999999999999999.22 = 999999999999999.28 Passed
99999999999999922.0 = 99999999999999928.0 Passed
1826.21354281660921 = 1826.21354281660924 Failed
1826.21354281660922 = 1826.21354281660928 Passed
1826.213542816609281 = 1826.213542816609284 Passed
1826.213542816609282 = 1826.213542816609288 Passed
