They could be tested for almost equality as I understand it


Yes, you are right; floating points are not well represented in binary forms, so that a value like 1.4 can be stored as 1.39999999 or 1.400000001 ( for example)

so if yo need to compare floating point numbers, you have to check them against a pre-defined precision; they are identical "up to" a certain precision

for example:
double x;
double y;
double epsilon = 0.00001;

//they are equal if the difference between them is smaller than epsilon.
bool bEqual = fabs( x - y ) < epsilon;


this is a good read : http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html[^]
