EXPECT_GT(9)

🎀 EXPECT_GT(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a macro page, it's short, it's iconic, let's go 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

EXPECT_GT — and that's literally it, the original page leaves the description blank after the dash, so no cap, there's no tagline here 🙈 the name is the whole personality.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

EXPECT_GT (expected , seen );

that's the whole thing. yes the spacing is like that. we don't ask questions, we just copy it exactly 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• expected — the expected value, aka the number you think it should be 👑
• seen — the measured value, aka the number reality actually handed you 😭

ngl the ARGUMENTS section calls the second one seen and then DESCRIPTION calls it measured. that's just how the page is written, i'm not fixing it, i'm just telling you so you're not confused 💀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

here's the whole vibe, one line:

EXPECT_GT(expected, measured): expected > measured

so it's checking that expected is strictly greater than measured 🔥 that's it. that's the macro. she's simple, she's serving, she works 💅
