How do you write a program, which compares correctly two real numbers with accuracy at least 0.000001?

@Mandla this takes absolut values of a and b and does the following (if (a-b) <0.000001 (ideally that must be: a-b = 0) then a == b) but if a < b it'll say false anyway https://code.sololearn.com/cddiqf9EtJPJ/?ref=app

@Illusive man Where do you get the values you gave to the variables you initiate and how does one find or know the accuracy of 0.000001? By the way thanks for your help Exercise 5 is the worst I'm asked to declare a variable of type char, assign it as a value the character, which has a Unicode code 72 and display it as a hexadecimal representation.

The guideline gave me an e.g. bool equal = Math.Abs(a-b) < 0.000001; But I still don't understand how this work🙁
