function

numpy.testing._private.utils:assert_array_almost_equal

source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/numpy/testing/_private/utils.py :1126

Signature

def   assert_array_almost_equal ( actual desired decimal = 6 err_msg = '' verbose = True )

Summary

Raises an AssertionError if two objects are not equal up to desired precision.

Extended Summary

The test verifies identical shapes and that the elements of actual and desired satisfy

abs(desired-actual) < 1.5 * 10**(-decimal)

That is a looser test than originally documented, but agrees with what the actual implementation did up to rounding vagaries. An exception is raised at shape mismatch or conflicting values. In contrast to the standard usage in numpy, NaNs are compared like numbers, no assertion is raised if both objects have NaNs in the same positions.

Parameters

actual : array_like

The actual object to check.

desired : array_like

The desired, expected object.

decimal : int, optional

Desired precision, default is 6.

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.

Examples

the first assert does not raise an exception
np.testing.assert_array_almost_equal([1.0,2.333,np.nan],
                                     [1.0,2.333,np.nan])
np.testing.assert_array_almost_equal([1.0,2.33333,np.nan],
                                     [1.0,2.33339,np.nan], decimal=5)
np.testing.assert_array_almost_equal([1.0,2.33333,np.nan],
                                     [1.0,2.33333, 5], decimal=5)
