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)

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 = ?

I dont know why? But I think you should try rounded your input data. Face please picture.

Oh, ok. thank you for your answer, I´m new to this Blog and forum stuff. Discussion forum, got it.
No, the Equality Component shloud have compared the values of input A to the Value of the Panel (0.0) and set True if equality is given or false if the condition is nor fulfilled. Then I could have used the pattern (true, false, false, true etc...) as a cull pattern for the next component... But it didn´t compare the numbers correctly unless I put the values through the integers Primitive Component...
