When comparing strings for equivalence, even a small difference in formatting (such as trailing zeros) can cause them to be considered different. In this case, the issue arises with the second pair of strings, where one has a trailing zero and the other does not ("298.030" vs. "298.03").
To perform a safety check that considers such cases, consider converting the strings to numerical values before comparing them. This approach ignores formatting differences like trailing zeros.
Use 'str2double' to convert the string representations of numbers to actual numerical values.
