Float approximately equal.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`value`	`float`	target value.	required
`magnitude`	`Optional[float]`	maximum magnitude difference. Defaults to None.	`None`
`percent`	`Optional[float]`	maximum percentage difference. Percentage differences are always calculated based on the expected value, regardless of ordering. Defaults to None.	`None`

If both a magnitude and percent are specified, both will be checked.

Raises:

Type	Description
`ValueError`	At least one of magnitude or percent must be specified
`ValueError`	Cannot calculate a percentage difference from 0

Matches objects that have the same value.

This is equivalent to the == operator, but with additional information on the difference, which can help with debugging.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`value`	`object`	object to check	required

Matches values that have the same identity as the given value.

While this isn't as useful for top-level comparisons, it can be used effectively for checking nested data structures.

Parameters:

`value`	`object`	object to check	required
