== Percent Equals ==

When the two values placed on the stack are within 10% of each other this places a "true" on the conditions stack.

Example:

50 55 %=

will place "true" on the conditions stack.

+'''<code>%=</code>''' and '''<code>!%=</code>''' are approximate equality operators.
-When the two values placed on the stack are within 10% of each other this places a "true" on the conditions stack.
+When the two values placed on the stack are within 10% of the first one (chronologically), <code>%=</code> places a "true" on the conditions stack. <code>!%=</code> returns the opposite of <code>%=</code> and is equivalent to <code>%= [[not]]</code>.

-will place "true" on the conditions stack.
+In VisualBasic, the actual operation used to handle <code>a b %=</code> is (equivalent to) <code>Abs(a - b) <= a/10</code>, where all operations are performed on Single-precision integers. Therefore, <code>9 10 %=</code> is false because 9/10 evaluates to 0, while <code>10 9 %=</code> is true because 10/10 evaluates to 1.
