I noticed that the same code example is in the file test/check_lua_calc_error.lua. I diffed the two versions and found that test/check_lua_calc_error.lua is correct, but the version in the documentation (https://luaunit.readthedocs.io/en/luaunit_v3_5/4_reference_doc.html#assertNotAlmostEquals) contains several typos:

  • -- prints: 3 comment instead of -- prints: 32 (I verified locally that running the test as lua test/check_lua_calc_error.lua prints 32.0 to the console)
  • missing expected arguments in all assertAlmostEquals() calls

This PR fixes these issues, effectively unifying the two versions in terms of executable code (i.e. not comments). test/check_lua_calc_error.lua has fewer comments than the version in the documentation, but I ignored that. Perhaps it might be nice if test/check_lua_calc_error.lua had these comments too, but that's a matter of style, not correctness.
