Precision Comparisons

I am still meticulously implementing the changes to my 3D correlation function (Xi) and constantly comparing it to the working version (Alexia's code). I haven't found where the breakdown is occuring. However, I do have some pretty plots which show how precisely these correlation functions match:



My correlation function is exactly underneath Alexia's so you can't see any distinction. I did this by seeding the random number generators the same. Below is a plot of the difference between our 3D correlation functions. Notice the 10^-9 at the top. This is due to rounding errors in the floating point numbers.



I just need to keep them working this well, while continuing to add the new geometry. Wish me luck!
