Return True if numbers x and y are approximately equal, to within some

will also compare approximately equal.
x is approximately equal to y if the difference between them is less than
an absolute error tol or a relative error rel, whichever is bigger.

given, default values are tol=1e-12 and rel=1e-7.

Absolute error is defined as abs(x-y); if that is less than or equal to
tol, x and y are considered approximately equal.
Relative error is defined as abs((x-y)/x) or abs((x-y)/y), whichever is
smaller, provided x or y are not zero. If that figure is less than or
equal to rel, x and y are considered approximately equal.
Complex numbers are not directly supported. If you wish to compare to
complex numbers, extract their real and imaginary parts and compare them
individually.
NANs always compare unequal, even with themselves. Infinities compare
approximately equal if they have the same sign (both positive or both
negative). Infinities with different signs compare unequal; so do
comparisons of infinities with finite numbers.

class _DoNothing:
"""
When doing numeric work, especially with floats, exact equality is often
not what you want. Due to round-off error, it is often a bad idea to try
to compare floats with equality. Instead the usual procedure is to test
them with some (hopefully small!) allowance for error.
The ``approx_equal`` function allows you to specify either an absolute
error tolerance, or a relative error, or both.
Absolute error tolerances are simple, but you need to know the magnitude
of the quantities being compared:
>>> approx_equal(12.345, 12.346, tol=1e-3)
True
>>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, tol=1e-3) # tol is too small.
False
Relative errors are more suitable when the values you are comparing can
vary in magnitude:
>>> approx_equal(12.345, 12.346, rel=1e-4)
True
>>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, rel=1e-4)
True
but a naive implementation of relative error testing can run into trouble
around zero.
If you supply both an absolute tolerance and a relative error, the
comparison succeeds if either individual test succeeds:
>>> approx_equal(12.345e6, 12.346e6, tol=1e-3, rel=1e-4)
True
