-# General Assertions
-
-* **_AFT.assertEquals(actual, expected)**
-
- Assert that two values are equal.
-
- For tables, the comparison is a deep comparison :
-
- * number of elements must be the same
- * tables must contain the same keys
- * each key must contain the same values. The values are also compared recursively with deep comparison.
-
- LuaUnit provides other table-related assertions, see [Table assertions](http://luaunit.readthedocs.io/en/luaunit_v3_2_1/#assert-table)
-
-* **_AFT.assertNotEquals(actual, expected)**
-
- Assert that two values are different. The assertion fails if the two values are identical.
-
- It also uses table deep comparison.
-
-* **_AFT.assertAlmostEquals(actual, expected, margin)**
-
- Assert that two floating point numbers are almost equal.
-
- When comparing floating point numbers, strict equality does not work.
- Computer arithmetic is so that an operation that mathematically yields
- 1.00000000 might yield 0.999999999999 in lua . That’s why you need an
- almost equals comparison, where you specify the error margin.
-
-* **_AFT.assertNotAlmostEquals(actual, expected, margin)**
-
- Assert that two floating point numbers are not almost equal. \ No newline at end of file

-# Value assertions
-
-* **_AFT.assertEvalToTrue(value)**
-
- Assert that a given value evals to true. Lua coercion rules are applied so
- that values like 0,"",1.17 succeed in this assertion. If provided, extra_msg
- is a string which will be printed along with the failure message.
-
-* **_AFT.assertEvalToFalse(Value)**
-
- Assert that a given value eval to *false*. Lua coercion rules are applied so
- that *nil* and *false* succeed in this assertion. If provided, extra_msg is a
- string which will be printed along with the failure message.
-
-* **_AFT.assertIsTrue(value)**
-
- Assert that a given value compares to true. Lua coercion rules are applied so
- that values like 0, "", 1.17 all compare to true.
-
-* **_AFT.assertIsFalse(value)**
-
- Assert that a given value compares to false. Lua coercion rules are applied so
- that only nil and false all compare to false.
-
-* **_AFT.assertIsNil(value)**
-
- Assert that a given value is nil .
-
-* **_AFT.assertNotIsNil(value)**
-
- Assert that a given value is not *nil* . Lua coercion rules are applied
- so that values like ``0``, ``""``, ``false`` all validate the assertion.
- If provided, *extra_msg* is a string which will be printed along with the
- failure message.
-
-* **_AFT.assertIs(actual, expected)**
-
- Assert that two variables are identical. For string, numbers, boolean and
- for nil, this gives the same result as assertEquals() . For the other types,
- identity means that the two variables refer to the same object.
-
- Example :
-
- ```lua
- `s1='toto'
- s2='to'..'to'
- t1={1,2}
- t2={1,2}
- luaunit.assertIs(s1,s1) -- ok
- luaunit.assertIs(s1,s2) -- ok
- luaunit.assertIs(t1,t1) -- ok
- luaunit.assertIs(t1,t2) -- fail`
- ```
-
-* **_AFT.assertNotIs(actual, expected)**
-
- Assert that two variables are not identical, in the sense that they do not
- refer to the same value. See assertIs() for more details. \ No newline at end of file

-# Scientific assertions

->**Note**
->If you need to deal with value minus zero, be very careful because Lua versions
-are inconsistent on how they treat the >syntax -0 : it creates either a plus
-zero or a minus zero. Multiplying or dividing 0 by -1 also yields inconsistent >
-results. The reliable way to create the -0 value is : minusZero = -1 / (1/0).
-

-# String assertions
-
-Assertions related to string and patterns.
-
-* **_AFT.assertStrContains(str, sub[, useRe])**
-
- Assert that a string contains the given substring or pattern.
-
- By default, substring is searched in the string. If useRe is provided and is
- true, sub is treated as a pattern which is searched inside the string str.
-
-* **_AFT.assertStrIContains(str, sub)**
-
- Assert that a string contains the given substring, irrespective of the case.
-
- Not that unlike assertStrcontains(), you can not search for a pattern.
-
-* **_AFT.assertNotStrContains(str, sub, useRe)**
-
- Assert that a string does not contain a given substring or pattern.
-
- By default, substring is searched in the string. If useRe is provided and is
- true, sub is treated as a pattern which is searched inside the string str.
-
-* **_AFT.assertNotStrIContains(str, sub)**
-
- Assert that a string does not contain the given substring, irrespective of
- the case.
-
- Not that unlike assertNotStrcontains(), you can not search for a pattern.
-
-* **_AFT.assertStrMatches(str, pattern[, start[, final]])**
-
- Assert that a string matches the full pattern pattern.
-
- If start and final are not provided or are nil, the pattern must match the
- full string, from start to end. The functions allows to specify the expected
- start and end position of the pattern in the string. \ No newline at end of file

-# Error assertions
-
-Error related assertions, to verify error generation and error messages.
-
-* **_AFT.assertError(func, ...)**
-
- Assert that calling functions func with the arguments yields an error. If the function does not yield an error, the assertion fails.
-
- Note that the error message itself is not checked, which means that this function does not distinguish between the legitimate error that you expect and another error that might be triggered by mistake.
-
- The next functions provide a better approach to error testing, by checking explicitly the error message content.
-
->**Note**
->When testing LuaUnit, switching from assertError() to assertErrorMsgEquals() revealed quite a few bugs!
-
-* **_AFT.assertErrorMsgEquals(expectedMsg, func, ...)**
-
- Assert that calling function func will generate exactly the given error message. If the function does not yield an error, or if the error message is not identical, the assertion fails.
-
- Be careful when using this function that error messages usually contain the file name and line number information of where the error was generated. This is usually inconvenient. To ignore the filename and line number information, you can either use a pattern with assertErrorMsgMatches() or simply check if the message contains a string with assertErrorMsgContains() .
-
-* **_AFT.assertErrorMsgContains(partialMsg, func, ...)**
-
- Assert that calling function func will generate an error message containing partialMsg . If the function does not yield an error, or if the expected message is not contained in the error message, the assertion fails.
-
-* **_AFT.assertErrorMsgMatches(expectedPattern, func, ...)**
-
- Assert that calling function func will generate an error message matching expectedPattern . If the function does not yield an error, or if the error message does not match the provided pattern the assertion fails.
-
- Note that matching is done from the start to the end of the error message. Be sure to escape magic all magic characters with % (like -+.?\*) . \ No newline at end of file

-# Table assertions
-
-* **_AFT.assertItemsEquals(actual, expected)**
-
- Assert that two tables contain the same items, irrespective of their keys.
-
- This function is practical for example if you want to compare two lists but
- where items are not in the same order:
-
- ```lua
- luaunit.assertItemsEquals( {1,2,3}, {3,2,1} ) -- assertion succeeds
- ```
- The comparison is not recursive on the items: if any of the items are tables,
- they are compared using table equality (like as in assertEquals() ), where the
- key matters.
-
- ```lua
- luaunit.assertItemsEquals( {1,{2,3},4}, {4,{3,2,},1} ) -- assertion fails because {2,3} ~= {3,2}
