assert_equal(expected, actual, message=nil) public

Passes if expected == +actual.

Note that the ordering of arguments is important, since a helpful error message is generated when this one fails that tells you the values of expected and actual.

Example: 

  assert_equal 'MY STRING', 'my string'.upcase

Not for floats

You should use assert_in_delta when comparing floating-point numbers.
