+# 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)
+
+    ```lua
+    _AFT.assertEquals("string", "string")
+    ```
+
+* **_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.
+    
+    ```lua
+    _AFT.assertNotEquals("string", "Another string")
+    ```
+
+* **_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.
+    
+    ```lua
+    -- convert pi/6 radian to 30 degree
+    pi_div_6_deg_calculated = math.deg(math.pi/6)
+    pi_div_6_deg_expected = 30
+
+    -- convert pi/3 radian to 60 degree
+    pi_div_3_deg_calculated = math.deg(math.pi/3)
+    pi_div_3_deg_expected = 60
+
+    -- check absolute error: it is not constant
+    print( (pi_div_6_deg_expected - pi_div_6_deg_calculated) / lu.EPS ) -- prints: 16
+    print( (pi_div_3_deg_expected - pi_div_3_deg_calculated) / lu.EPS ) -- prints: 32
+
+    -- Better use relative error:
+    print( ( (pi_div_6_deg_expected - pi_div_6_deg_calculated) / pi_div_6_deg_expected) / lu.EPS ) -- prints: 0.53333
+    print( ( (pi_div_3_deg_expected - pi_div_3_deg_calculated) / pi_div_3_deg_expected) / lu.EPS ) -- prints: 0.53333
+
+    -- relative error is constant. Assertion can take the form of:
+    assertAlmostEquals( (pi_div_6_deg_expected - pi_div_6_deg_calculated) / pi_div_6_deg_expected, lu.EPS )
+    assertAlmostEquals( (pi_div_3_deg_expected - pi_div_3_deg_calculated) / pi_div_3_deg_expected, lu.EPS )
+    ```
+
+* **_AFT.assertNotAlmostEquals(actual, expected, margin)**
+
+    Assert that two floating point numbers are not almost equal.
