wp_fuzzy_number_match() WordPress Function
The wp_fuzzy_number_match() function is used to match a given number against a set of fuzzy numbers. A fuzzy number is a number with a certain range of uncertainty. This function is useful for matching numbers that may not be exact, such as when trying to match a user-entered number to a set of numbers in a database.
wp_fuzzy_number_match( int|float $expected, int|float $actual, int|float $precision = 1 ) #
Checks if two numbers are nearly the same.
Description

Parameters
- $expected
(int|float)(Required)The expected value.
- $actual
(int|float)(Required)The actual number.
- $precision
(int|float)(Optional)The allowed variation.
Default value: 1
Return
(bool) Whether the numbers match within the specified precision.
