astropy.utils.diff.diff_values(a, b, rtol=0.0, atol=0.0)

Diff two scalar values. If both values are floats, they are compared to within the given absolute and relative tolerance.

Parameters:

a, b : int, float, str

Scalar values to compare.

rtol, atol : float

Relative and absolute tolerances as accepted by numpy.allclose().

Returns:

is_different : bool

True if they are different, else False.
