Equality component doesn´t work - although I already anticipate it´s my fault

Dearest Community, I´m having a problem with the equality component.

or this one:

I´m trying to follow the tutorial on think parametric.com and I get stuck at the point where we want to filter out the Points on the edges of the surface. Why isn´t the Equality component setting index 2 on true...

confused greetings and good morning (well it´s lunchtime already)

The Definition so far..:

Honeycomb%20on%20Surface%20Tut%20from%20parametric%20thinking.gh

p.s. flattening the distances doesn´t help

p.p.s: as you can see the point aren´t projected on the edges correctly. I tried to fix this for hours with several experiments wich all worked only this one doesn´t. Why? No Comprende...

Solution to Problem :  decoding the Distance values through an Integegers Component...

    It's called Floating Point maths.

    Your computer needs to convert everything into binary in order to do anything. Binary and decimal places are not very compatibly (to a certain degree)

    the question what is 0.1 + 0.3 = ? is often asked of software developers. 

    have a look at this site: http://0.30000000000000004.com/

    PS you need to post this in discussion forums so that the replies are editable after posting.

    It should have said 0.1 + 0.2 = ?
