numpy.testing.assert_almost_equal¶
- numpy.testing.assert_almost_equal(actual, desired, decimal=7, err_msg='', verbose=True)[source]¶
Raises an AssertionError if two items are not equal up to desired precision.
Note
It is recommended to use one of assert_allclose, assert_array_almost_equal_nulp or assert_array_max_ulp instead of this function for more consistent floating point comparisons.
The test is equivalent to abs(desired-actual) < 0.5 * 10**(-decimal).
Given two objects (numbers or ndarrays), check that all elements of these objects are almost equal. An exception is raised at conflicting values. For ndarrays this delegates to assert_array_almost_equal
Parameters: actual : array_like
The object to check.
desired : array_like
The expected object.
decimal : int, optional
Desired precision, default is 7.
err_msg : str, optional
The error message to be printed in case of failure.
verbose : bool, optional
If True, the conflicting values are appended to the error message.
Raises: AssertionError
If actual and desired are not equal up to specified precision.
