Decimal numbers in most programming languages (including JS) are internally represented in "floating point number" format. Floating point arithmetic is not exact. For example, the result of 46.5678 - 46 === 0.5678 is false because 46.5678 - 46 only yield a value that is very close to 0.5678. Even changing the order in which the program add/subtract numbers can yield different values.

So the following could happen

  expect( 1.2 + 0.6 + 0.005 ).toEqual( 1.805 );                // This fail
  expect( 1.2 + 0.6 + 0.005 ).toEqual( 1.8049999999999997 );   // This pass
  expect( 0.005 + 0.6 + 1.2 ).toEqual( 1.8049999999999997 );   // This fail

  console.log(1.2 + 0.6 + 0.005 == 1.805);  // false
  console.log(1.2 + 0.6 + 0.005 == 0.005 + 0.6 + 1.2); // false

Can you find a more appropriate way to test a value (that involves decimal number calculations) for equality?

Suggestion: Look up

  • Checking equality in floating point arithmetic in JavaScript
  • Checking equality in floating point arithmetic with Jest

Thank you for this. I have read about the matchers for numbers and floats now

I don't see any change made to the relevant Jest test.
