💖 SHTK_UNITTEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(3) 💖

okay so you're in the Library Functions Manual, section 3, and this is the page for shtk_unittest_assert_equal — the little equality-check bestie you didn't know you needed. it lives in the <pink>shtk</pink> family (iykyk) and it's literally here to tell you whether two things match. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

shtk_unittest_assert_equal — a fatal equality check between two values 💅

like, not a casual "hmm maybe" check. a fatal one. if it fails, we're done here, no cap.

---

🎀 LIBRARY 🎀

You gotta import it first, obviously:

shtk_import unittest

that's it. that's the whole library line. go off. 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

shtk_unittest_assert_equal expected_value actual_value

two arguments, one job: compare. iconic behavior tbh.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the shtk_unittest_assert_equal function implements an equality check between two values. periodt.

if actual_value matches the expected value given in expected_value (which is usually hardcoded right there in your test — main character energy), then the check is considered a success. yay! 🎉✨

otherwise? the check fails and the test case is aborted. yeah. like, full stop, test over, vibe check failed, 💀. no gentle "sorry bestie, mismatch" — it just ends the whole test case right there. dramatic? maybe. effective? absolutely. 🙈

so like, make sure your expected value is actually correct before you go asserting things, okay? 💜

reminder bestie: expected_value first, actual_value second. yes, it matters. no, you will not remember. yes, you will debug it for 20 minutes. we've all been there. 🍓
