Subject: Re: float equality

Thanks a lot for the answers and references, and sorry for not having
check deeper on google
(http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/9655).

So I guess that if one wants to work for example with float numbers in
the range [0,1], the best way to do it is by normalising from an
integer interval depending on the precision you want, say [0,100] for
two decimal digits precision, and so on. Is there any other better
approach? Does the use of BigDecimal impose a severe penalty on performance?
