I think the answer should be the same. Look at the differences:

999999 - 999899.00011.                          => 99.9998899999773
999999 - 999899.0001.                            => 99.9999000000535

It's nearly a hundred in both cases.

999999 closeTo: 999899.00011.            => true (with a difference of
nearly 100)
2 closeTo: 1                                               => false
(with a difference of 1)

So, what is the threshold ?
