perturbopy.test_utils.compare_data.h5.equal_scalar

perturbopy.test_utils.compare_data.h5.equal_scalar(scalar1, scalar2, key, ig_n_tol)

Determines if two scalars contain the same value

Parameters:

• scalar1 (numpy.dtype) – first scalar

• scalar2 (numpy.dtype) – second scalar

• key (str) – key associated with this scalar

• ig_n_tol (dict) – dictionary of ignore keywords and tolerances needed to make comparison on values

Returns:

• equal_value (bool) – boolean specifying if both scalars contain the same values

• diff_str (str) – string which contains the information about the calculation error

• output_res_val (str) – here for consistency, just a copy of the diff_str
