@QuantumDot Internal`CompareNumeric[prec, a, b] returns -1, 0, or 1 according to whether a is less, equal, or greater than b when compared at the precision of a or b (whichever is less) minus prec decimal digits of "tolerance". It is the fundamental operation underlying Less, Equal, Greater, LessEqual etc. for finite-precision numeric types.

M.'s missing motivation♦ | The challenge is to explain everything adequately without having to write an entire numerical analysis textbook… in any event, one will have to also consider whether a problem is due to an unstable algorithm or an ill-conditioned problem. | |
