[Solved] Find the problem in this test:def test_compare(): assert pytest.approx(5.0) == 5.0 - Ans: Arguments are reversed; actual value should be on left | PyTest

PyTest - Writing Assertions

Find the problem in this test:

def test_compare():
    assert pytest.approx(5.0) == 5.0

ATest will fail because 5.0 != pytest.approx(5.0)

Bpytest.approx cannot be used on left side of == operator

CArguments are reversed; actual value should be on left

DNo problem; test will pass

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall pytest.approx usage
The actual value should be on the left side of ==, and pytest.approx(expected) on the right.
Step 2: Analyze the assertion
Here, pytest.approx is on the left, which is not the recommended usage and can cause confusion or errors.
Final Answer:
Arguments are reversed; actual value should be on left -> Option C
Quick Check:
Actual == pytest.approx(expected) is correct order [OK]

Quick Trick: Put actual value left, pytest.approx(expected) right [OK]
