public static bool Approximately(float a,
float b);
Description
Compares two floating point values and returns true if they are similar.
Floating point imprecision makes comparing floats using the equals operator inaccurate.
For example, (1.0 == 10.0 / 10.0) might not return true every time.
Approximately() compares two floats and returns true if they are within a small value (Epsilon) of each other.
using UnityEngine;

void Start()

if (Mathf.Approximately(1.0f, 10.0f / 10.0f))
{
print("The values are approximately the same");
}
