Fix #13530

Summary

This PR addresses a decimal.FloatOperation error that happens when calling repr() on a pytest.approx object created with a decimal.Decimal value. The error arises from comparing and formatting Decimal and float values without proper conversion, which activates the FloatOperation trap.

Changes

I modified the repr method to carefully handle Decimal and float attributes. This is done by explicitly converting float values to Decimal before comparisons and formatting.
I added checks for None to prevent invalid comparisons.
I avoided direct comparisons between float and Decimal that can lead to FloatOperation exceptions.

Testing

I created a minimal test to reproduce the FloatOperation error from pytest.approx(Decimal)'s repr().
The test passes after applying this fix, confirming that the issue is resolved.
