Description
            Purpose
----

The goal of this toolbox is to provide functions to make testing easier. 
We emphasize the use of consistent tools for testing numerical issues,
with the goal of testing numerical algorithms more easily.
In particular, we provide a comparison function for two floating
point numbers, which allows to check that two numbers are "numerically almost
equal",
i.e. that the relative error is small.

The function of the assert module are designed to be used in Scilab unit tests
files (.tst files).

The functions allows to:
 * assert for true, equal statements,
 * assert that two floating point numbers are "close" (using a relative or
absolute tolerance).

Additionnaly, we can sort doubles complex numbers with a mixed relative/absolute
tolerance criteria.

The toolbox is based on macros.

To get an overview of the functions in this module, 
use :

help assert_overview

Features
--------

The following is a list of the current assert functions :
 * assert_checkalmostequal : Check that computed and expected are numerically
close.
 * assert_checkequal : Check that computed and expected are equal.
 * assert_checktrue : Check that condition is true.
 * assert_checkfalse : Check that condition is false.
 * assert_checkfilesequal : Check two files are equal.
 * assert_checkerror : Check that the function has produced the correct error.
 * assert_generror : Generates an error.

and sorting functions :
 * assert_compare : The default comparison function used in the sort-merge.
 * assert_comparecomplex : Compare complex numbers with a tolerance.
 * assert_sort : A flexible sorting function.
 * assert_sortcomplex : Compare complex numbers with a tolerance.

and support functions :
 * assert_computedigits : Returns the number of significant digits in computed
result.
 * assert_cond2reltol : Suggests a relative error, computed from the condition
number.
 * assert_cond2reqdigits : Suggests the number of required digits, given the
condition number.
 * assert_csvread : Read data from a file or a string.
 * assert_csvwrite : Write data into a file or a string.

http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/assert/issues/193/
    * In assert_csvread, added example of block-by-block read.

Here are the CHANGES for the version 1.1.


assert (1.1)
    * Moved condition number functions into a separate module.
    * Removed help pages for condition number.
    * Removed assert_expandvar from public API.
    * Removed assert_benchfun - it is in the scibench module (backward compatibility 
lost).
    * Updated printtable: replaced %inf, %nan in output by Inf, Nan (backward 
compatibility lost).
    * Updated help page of assert_checkalmostequal for complex numbers.
    * Created cond2reqdigits.
    * Renamed condition2reltol into cond2reltol (backward compatibility lost).
    * Inverted the sign of offset in cond2reltol and cond2reqdigits, for simplicity.
    * Shortened the name of the files in unit tests for speed of development.
    * In assert_sort, added optional arguments to the callback.
    * Updated datasetwrite, datasetread to correspond.
    * Renamed printtable into datasetwrite (backward compatibility lost).
    * Added dec option to datasetwrite and datasetread.
    * Added string format to datasetwrite.
    * Renamed datasetwrite, datasetread into csvwrite, csvread.
    * Added conversion to double into csvread.
    * Added irange option to csvread.
    * Added header option to csvwrite.
    * Vectorized csvwrite.
    * Vectorized csvread as much as possible.
