Defined in `awkward.operations.ak_almost_equal <https://github.com/scikit-hep/awkward/blob/5aaab0916caf6d2910fdd118ae61b148aa2e0869/src/awkward/operations/ak_almost_equal.py>`__ on `line 22 <https://github.com/scikit-hep/awkward/blob/5aaab0916caf6d2910fdd118ae61b148aa2e0869/src/awkward/operations/ak_almost_equal.py#L22>`__.

.. py:function:: ak.almost_equal(left, right, *, rtol: float = 1e-05, atol: float = 1e-08, dtype_exact: bool = True, check_parameters: bool = True, check_regular: bool = True, check_named_axis: bool = True)

   :param left: Array-like data (anything :py:obj:`ak.to_layout` recognizes).
   :param right: Array-like data (anything :py:obj:`ak.to_layout` recognizes).
   :param rtol: the relative tolerance parameter (see below).
   :param atol: the absolute tolerance parameter (see below).
   :param dtype_exact: whether the dtypes must be exactly the same, or just the
                       same family.
   :param check_parameters: whether to compare parameters.
   :param check_regular: whether to consider ragged and regular dimensions as
                         unequal.
   :param check_named_axis: bool (default=True) whether to consider named axes as unequal.

   Return True if the two array-like arguments are considered equal for the
   given options. Otherwise, return False.

   The relative difference (``rtol * abs(b)``) and the absolute difference ``atol``
   are added together to compare against the absolute difference between ``left``
   and ``right``.

   TypeTracer arrays are not supported, as there is very little information to
   be compared.
