vulcan4d Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I'm working on an AutoIt script that pulls in values and compares them in pairs. I need to know whether two values are either equal or very close to each other. The latter is what I can't figure out because it's not as simple as a ><= statement and the values are dynamic meaning I need to determine something is near by percentage and not an actual amount. Is there a function that does this, determines if two values are almost equal based on a global percentage of 2% for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution water Posted April 3, 2022 Solution Share Posted April 3, 2022 Not that I know of. But you can easily create such a function yourself. Quick and dirty: $iPercent = 2 Global $iValue1 = 100 Global $iValue2 = 102 Global $iLowerBoundary = $iValue1 - ($iValue1/100*$iPercent) Global $iUperBoundary = $iValue1 + ($iValue1/100*$iPercent) if $iValue2 >= $iLowerBoundary And $iValue2 <= $iUperBoundary Then ConsoleWrite($iValue2 & " is 'equal' to " & $iValue1 & @CRLF) Else ConsoleWrite($iValue2 & " is NOT 'equal' to " & $iValue1 & @CRLF) EndIf vulcan4d 1 My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs: Active Directory (NEW 2024-07-28 - Version 1.6.3.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki ExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts OutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki OutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - Download Outlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki PowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki Task Scheduler (2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs: Excel - Example Scripts - Wiki Word - Wiki Tutorials: ADO - Wiki WebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deye Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Or even maybe this : $iValue1 = 12445 $iValue2 = 12694 $PercentageOfChange = Abs(Round(($iValue2 - $iValue1) / $iValue1 * 10 ^ 2, 2)) ConsoleWrite("%" & $PercentageOfChange & @LF) Edited April 3, 2022 by Deye vulcan4d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadBunny Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Note that the math here could get ambiguous. Say you want to know whether 98.01 and 100 are "equal" within a 2% range. Well, 98.01 is 98.01% of 100, so yes, But 100 is 1,0203% of 98, so more than 2% away, so no. In other words, keep the order of the numbers in mind using this logic. vulcan4d 1 Roses are FF0000, violets are 0000FF... All my base are belong to you.
