Inputs

x	a real
y	a real
epsilon	a real

Outputs

?

a boolean

Word description
Tests if x and y are approximately equal to each other. There are three possible comparison tests, chosen based on the sign of epsilon:

•	epsilon is zero: exact comparison.
•	epsilon is positive: absolute distance test.
•	epsilon is negative: relative distance test.
