                                                             ; from NCL V6.2.0 onward.

	procedure epsZero (
		x    : numeric,  
		eps  : numeric   
	)

	return_val  :  numeric

Examples

Example 1

     X        = (/ 1,-2, -999., 1.e-05, -1.e-07, 10/)
     X@_FillValue = -999.
     eps          = 1.e-04
     epsZero (X, eps)
     print(X)
       X(0) 1
       X(1) -2
       X(2) -999.
       X(3) 0
       X(4) 0
       X(5) 10
