Check if one number is greater/lower than or equal to another.

alteb(a, b)
aeqb(a, b)Numerical vector of numbers
Numerical vector of numbers
Not all numbers (especially the decimal ones) can be represented exactly in floating point arithmetic, and their arithmetic may not give the normal expected result.
Function agteb() checks if a number a is “greater than or equal to”
(gte) another number b. In the same spirit, function alteb() checks
if a number a is “lower than or equal to” (lte) another number b,
while function aeqb() checks for their equality (eq).
