Two other questions give direct, numerical comparisons: Q: How many long tonnes of protein (meat, fish, cheese) does this country consume in one year?

What's more, the varying magnitude of the problems would make a numerical comparison meaningless.

The result of all this is that our graphs and numerical comparisons aren't especially comparable with those from previous months.

But such numerical comparisons belie a deeper truth.

The values of these parameters permit characterization of the curves, and enable numerical comparisons to be made between samples.

Chroma key is achieved by a simple numerical comparison between the video and the preselected color.

A simple numerical comparison of labour costs is probably not the only explanation of the phenomenon.

Therefore, the concepts of numerical comparison and proportionality are not applicable in a situation such as this.

The two values behave as equal in numerical comparisons, but some operations return different results for +0 and 0.

A signaling NaN in any arithmetic operation (including numerical comparisons) will cause an "invalid" exception to be signaled.
