```

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`x` | number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Complex &#124; Unit &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | First value to check
`y` | number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Complex &#124; Unit &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Second value to check

### Returns

Type | Description
