Gilles commented on NUMBERS-16:
-------------------------------
bq. Any reason not to set these tolerances to zero?
Assuming that the internal representation is comprised of the real and
imaginary parts, I'd answer "no".
> Set tolerances in ComplexTest to zero?

> Key: NUMBERS-16
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUMBERS-16
> Project: Commons Numbers
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Eric Barnhill
> Priority: Minor
>
> Considering the following JUnit test:
> public void testConstructor() {
> Complex z = new Complex(3.0, 4.0);
> Assert.assertEquals(3.0, z.getReal(), 1.0e-5);
> Assert.assertEquals(4.0, z.getImaginary(), 1.0e-5);
> }
> That tolerance seems pretty high to me -- I sure would not want to work with
> a method that was not stabler than that, nor can I see a reason that the
> numbers would be exactly the same to the last place.
> Any reason not to set these tolerances to zero?
