# numpy.testing.assert_equal

`numpy.testing.``assert_equal`(actual, desired, err_msg='', verbose=True)

  Raise an assertion if two objects are not equal.

  Given two objects (lists, tuples, dictionaries or numpy arrays), check that all elements of these objects are equal. An exception is raised at the first conflicting values.

  Parameters : | actual : list, tuple, dict or ndarray The object to check. desired : list, tuple, dict or ndarray The expected object. err_msg : string The error message to be printed in case of failure. verbose : bool If True, the conflicting values are appended to the error message.
  Raises : | AssertionError : If actual and desired are not equal.

  Examples

      >>> np.testing.assert_equal([4,5], [4,6])
      ...
      <type 'exceptions.AssertionError'>:
      Items are not equal:
      item=1
       ACTUAL: 5
       DESIRED: 6
