class _DoNothing:
    """
    When doing numeric work, especially with floats, exact equality is often
    not what you want. Due to round-off error, it is often a bad idea to try
    to compare floats with equality. Instead the usual procedure is to test
    them with some (hopefully small!) allowance for error.

    The ``approx_equal`` function allows you to specify either an absolute
    error tolerance, or a relative error, or both.

    Absolute error tolerances are simple, but you need to know the magnitude
    of the quantities being compared:

    >>> approx_equal(12.345, 12.346, tol=1e-3)
    True
    >>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, tol=1e-3)  # tol is too small.
    False

    Relative errors are more suitable when the values you are comparing can
    vary in magnitude:

    >>> approx_equal(12.345, 12.346, rel=1e-4)
    True
    >>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, rel=1e-4)
    True

    but a naive implementation of relative error testing can run into trouble
    around zero.

    If you supply both an absolute tolerance and a relative error, the
    comparison succeeds if either individual test succeeds:

    >>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, tol=1e-3, rel=1e-4)
    True
