[Solved] Identify the error in this test code snippet:def test_approx(): result = 1.0001 assert result == pytest.approx(1.0, rel=0.00001) | PyTest

PyTest - Writing Assertions

Identify the error in this test code snippet:

def test_approx():
    result = 1.0001
    assert result == pytest.approx(1.0, rel=0.00001)

AThe relative tolerance is too small, causing test to fail

Bpytest.approx does not accept rel parameter

CThe assertion syntax is incorrect

DThe variable result should be an integer

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check relative tolerance meaning
rel=0.00001 means allowed difference is 0.00001 * 1.0 = 0.00001.
Step 2: Compare actual difference with tolerance
Difference is 0.0001, which is greater than 0.00001, so assertion fails.
Final Answer:
The relative tolerance is too small, causing test to fail -> Option A
Quick Check:
Difference > rel tolerance causes failure [OK]

Quick Trick: Check if difference fits within rel tolerance [OK]
