real

comment

A 32-bit IEEE-754 float type.

note

The equality == and inequality != operators are different for type real.

0.0 == 0.0009 is true, effectively the precision is set to 0.001 (epsilon) in the Jass VM. As a result, 0.0 == 0.001 is false.

However, the != operator does not have its accuracy limited, so 0.0 != 0.0009 will return true too. The inequality operator can be used to compare reals of arbitrary precision (as long they are actually different in binary).
