8.9.6.21.2 Formal representation

FUNCTION IfcSameValue
 (Value1, Value2 : REAL; Epsilon : REAL)
 : LOGICAL;
  LOCAL
    ValidEps    : REAL;
    DefaultEps  : REAL := 0.000001;
  END_LOCAL;
  
  ValidEps := NVL(Epsilon, DefaultEps);
  RETURN ((Value1 + ValidEps > Value2) AND (Value1 < Value2 + ValidEps));

END_FUNCTION;
