function assertAlmostEquals
import { assertAlmostEquals } from "https://deno.land/std@0.181.0/testing/asserts.ts";

Make an assertion that actual and expected are almost equal numbers through a given tolerance. It can be used to take into account IEEE-754 double-precision floating-point representation limitations. If the values are not almost equal then throw.

Examples

Example 1

import { assertAlmostEquals, assertThrows } from "https://deno.land/std@0.181.0/testing/asserts.ts";

assertAlmostEquals(0.1, 0.2);

// Using a custom tolerance value
assertAlmostEquals(0.1 + 0.2, 0.3, 1e-16);
assertThrows(() => assertAlmostEquals(0.1 + 0.2, 0.3, 1e-17));

Parameters

actual: number
expected: number
optional
tolerance = [UNSUPPORTED]

msg: string
