`require('assert')`. However, it is recommended that a userland assertion
library be used instead.

## assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator)

Throws an exception that displays the values for `actual` and `expected`
separated by the provided operator.

## assert(value[, message]), assert.ok(value[, message])

Tests if value is truthy. It is equivalent to
`assert.equal(!!value, true, message)`.

## assert.equal(actual, expected[, message])

Tests shallow, coercive equality with the equal comparison operator ( `==` ).

## assert.notEqual(actual, expected[, message])

Tests shallow, coercive inequality with the not equal comparison operator
( `!=` ).

## assert.deepEqual(actual, expected[, message])

Tests for deep equality. Primitive values are compared with the equal

## assert.deepStrictEqual(actual, expected[, message])

Tests for deep equality. Primitive values are compared with the strict equality
operator ( `===` ).

## assert.doesNotThrow(block[, error][, message])

Expects `block` not to throw an error. See [assert.throws()](#assert_assert_throws_block_error_message) for more details.

If `block` throws an error and if it is of a different type from `error`, the
thrown error will get propagated back to the caller. The following call will
throw the `TypeError`, since we're not matching the error types in the
assertion.

assert.doesNotThrow(
function() {
throw new TypeError("Wrong value");
},
SyntaxError
);

In case `error` matches with the error thrown by `block`, an `AssertionError`
is thrown instead.

assert.doesNotThrow(
function() {
throw new TypeError("Wrong value");
},
TypeError
);

## assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator)

Throws an exception that displays the values for `actual` and `expected`
separated by the provided operator.

## assert.ifError(value)

Throws `value` if `value` is truthy. This is useful when testing the `error`
argument in callbacks.

## assert.notDeepEqual(actual, expected[, message])

Tests for any deep inequality. Opposite of `assert.deepEqual`.

## assert.strictEqual(actual, expected[, message])
