# XCTAssertNotEqual(_:_:accuracy:_:file:line:)

Asserts that two numeric values aren’t equal within a specified accuracy.

```
func XCTAssertNotEqual<T>(_ expression1: @autoclosure () throws -> T, _ expression2: @autoclosure () throws -> T, accuracy: T, _ message: @autoclosure () -> String = "", file: StaticString = #filePath, line: UInt = #line) where T : Numeric
```

## Parameters

`expression1`

An expression of type `T`, where `T` conforms to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/Numeric>.

`expression2`

A second expression of type `T`, where `T` conforms to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/Numeric>.

`accuracy`

An expression of type `T`, where `T` conforms to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/Numeric>. This parameter describes the maximum difference between `expression1` and `expression2` for these values to be considered not equal.

`message`

An optional description of a failure.

`file`

The file where the failure occurs. The default is the filename of the test case where you call this function.

`line`

The line number where the failure occurs. The default is the line number where you call this function.

## Discussion

`expression1`, `expression2`, and `accuracy` must all be of the same type `T`, and type T must conform to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/Numeric>.
