The documentation says:
The operators == and != are used to compare two values to determine if they are equal or not equal, respectively. The result of this operation is always a boolean value.
Am I right in assuming that this is a bitwise compare for two floats?
Thank you.
I suppose I was asking whether I should bind the float-comparison functionality that I have available in C++.
Sort of like an epsilon (vs bitwise) compare (though I use a relative, not an absolute compare).
I'd not override a defined and well known behavior. Using a function like closeTo(a, b, epsilon) clearly expresses what happens, especially w.r.t. the fact that a 3rd argument is involved (although there may be a default for it).
The equality operator in AngelScript doesn't perform an approximate comparison of floats. It does not do a bitwise comparison though, for the same reason that Nypyren mentioned.
I recommend going with haegarr's suggestion and register an explicit function for doing approximate comparison of floats/doubles.
