REQUIRE( performComputation() == Approx( 2.1 ) ); REQUIRE( performComputation() == Approx( 2.1 ) );
``` ```
This way `Approx` is constructed with reasonable defaults, covering most simple cases of rounding errors. If these are insufficient, each `Approx` instance has 3 tuning knobs, that can be used to customize it for your computation. Catch also provides a UDL for `Approx`; `_a`. It resides in
the `Catch::literals` namespace and can be used like so:
```cpp
using namespace Catch::literals;
REQUIRE( performComputation() == 2.1_a );
```
* __epsilon__ - epsilon serves to set the percentage by which a result can differ from `Approx`'s value before it is rejected. By default set to `std::numeric_limits<float>::epsilon()*100`. `Approx` is constructed with defaults that should cover most simple cases.
* __margin__ - margin serves to set the the absolute value by which a result can differ from `Approx`'s value before it is rejected. By default set to `0.0`. For the more complex cases, `Approx` provides 3 customization points:
* __scale__ - scale is used to change the magnitude of `Approx` for relative check. By default set to `0.0`.
* __epsilon__ - epsilon serves to set the percentage by which a result
can differ from `Approx`'s value before it is rejected.
