Class Assert

    java.lang.Object
      org.junit.Assert

    public class Assert

extends Object

A set of assertion methods useful for writing tests. Only failed assertions are recorded. These methods can be used directly: `Assert.assertEquals(...)`, however, they read better if they are referenced through static import:

     import static org.junit.Assert.*;
        ...
        assertEquals(...);

  Asserts that two object arrays are equal. If they are not, an `AssertionError` is thrown with the given message. If `expecteds` and `actuals` are `null`, they are considered equal.

  Parameters:
    `message` - the identifying message for the `AssertionError` (`null` okay)
    `expecteds` - Object array or array of arrays (multi-dimensional array) with expected values.
    `actuals` - Object array or array of arrays (multi-dimensional array) with actual values

### assertEquals

    @Deprecated
    public static void assertEquals(Object[] expecteds,
                                               Object[] actuals)

  Deprecated. use assertArrayEquals

  Asserts that two object arrays are equal. If they are not, an `AssertionError` is thrown. If `expected` and `actual` are `null`, they are considered equal.

  Parameters:
    `expecteds` - Object array or array of arrays (multi-dimensional array) with expected values
    `actuals` - Object array or array of arrays (multi-dimensional array) with actual values

### assertThat

    public static <T> void assertThat(T actual,
                                      Matcher<T> matcher)

  Asserts that `actual` satisfies the condition specified by `matcher`. If not, an `AssertionError` is thrown with information about the matcher and failing value. Example:

         assertThat(0, is(1)); // fails:
           // failure message:
           // expected: is <1>
           // got value: <0>
         assertThat(0, is(not(1))) // passes

  Type Parameters:
    `T` - the static type accepted by the matcher (this can flag obvious compile-time problems such as `assertThat(1, is("a"))`
  Parameters:
    `actual` - the computed value being compared
    `matcher` - an expression, built of `Matcher`s, specifying allowed values

    `CoreMatchers`, `JUnitMatchers`

### assertThat

    public static <T> void assertThat(String reason,
                                      T actual,
                                      Matcher<T> matcher)

  Asserts that `actual` satisfies the condition specified by `matcher`. If not, an `AssertionError` is thrown with the reason and information about the matcher and failing value. Example:

       :
         assertThat("Help! Integers don't work", 0, is(1)); // fails:
           // failure message:
           // Help! Integers don't work
           // expected: is <1>
           // got value: <0>
         assertThat("Zero is one", 0, is(not(1))) // passes

  Type Parameters:
    `T` - the static type accepted by the matcher (this can flag obvious compile-time problems such as `assertThat(1, is("a"))`
  Parameters:
    `reason` - additional information about the error
    `actual` - the computed value being compared
    `matcher` - an expression, built of `Matcher`s, specifying allowed values

    `CoreMatchers`, `JUnitMatchers`
