Test fails when it should pass for certain real numbers about catch2 HOT 5 CLOSED

My mistake, the Approx strictness was higher than I expected.

from catch2.

You can set the tolerance level (epsilon) for each Approx call by using the syntax:
Approx( x ).epsilon( y );

I'll soon be adding the ability to specify epsilons for a range of Approx's (or all of them).

Make sure you have the latest Catch (as of last friday/ IIRC) because I did change Approx to be slightly less strict (now 100x epsilon for float)

from catch2.

In fact I've just pushed up another commit for this.
You can now create your own Approx instance with settings for epsilon and scale.
See the last test case in https://github.com/philsquared/Catch/blob/master/projects/SelfTest/ApproxTests.cpp for an example.

Approx is a class, and usually when you use it you construct a single, temporary, instance on the fly.
But now you can create a named instance with epsilon and scale values that can be reused.
You can create this instance locally to your test case, or globally to your test app, if you like.

Sorry, I should have acknowledged your commit. It works very well, thanks.

Thanks for letting me know, @samaursa (eventually ;-) )
