Rather than using isequal on floating points which is bad practice and forcing the function to round its output to two decimals, you should test that the result is within a certain tolerance of the true value, like so: assert(abs(y_correct-crcl_area(x)) <= 0.01)

Ned Gulley on 19 Jun 2014

Good advice! Floating point math and isequal don't mix well.

why don't you claim "pi"?really hate it.

"pi" works, but currently, solution needs to be rounded off to 2 decimal places.
Would be better to increase the result tolerance.

The numbers are wrong.

Please fix the test suite.

You need to specify that the answer must be rounded to 2 decimal places.
