# pandas.testing.assert_series_equal

pandas.testing.assert_series_equal(left, right, check_dtype=True, check_index_type='equiv', check_series_type=True, check_names=True, check_exact=<no_default>, check_datetimelike_compat=False, check_categorical=True, check_category_order=True, check_freq=True, check_flags=True, rtol=<no_default>, atol=<no_default>, obj='Series', *, check_index=True, check_like=False)

  Check that left and right Series are equal.

  Parameters:
    leftSeries
    rightSeries
    check_dtypebool, default True

      Whether to check the Series dtype is identical.

    check_index_typebool or {‘equiv’}, default ‘equiv’

      Whether to check the Index class, dtype and inferred_type are identical.

    check_series_typebool, default True

      Whether to check the Series class is identical.

    check_namesbool, default True

      Whether to check the Series and Index names attribute.

    check_exactbool, default False

      Whether to compare number exactly.

      Changed in version 2.2.0: Defaults to True for integer dtypes if none of `check_exact`, `rtol` and `atol` are specified.

    check_datetimelike_compatbool, default False

      Compare datetime-like which is comparable ignoring dtype.

    check_categoricalbool, default True

      Whether to compare internal Categorical exactly.

    check_category_orderbool, default True

      Whether to compare category order of internal Categoricals.

    check_freqbool, default True

      Whether to check the freq attribute on a DatetimeIndex or TimedeltaIndex.

    check_flagsbool, default True

      Whether to check the flags attribute.

    rtolfloat, default 1e-5

      Relative tolerance. Only used when check_exact is False.

    atolfloat, default 1e-8

      Absolute tolerance. Only used when check_exact is False.

    objstr, default ‘Series’

      Specify object name being compared, internally used to show appropriate assertion message.

    check_indexbool, default True

      Whether to check index equivalence. If False, then compare only values.

      Added in version 1.3.0.

    check_likebool, default False

      If True, ignore the order of the index. Must be False if check_index is False. Note: same labels must be with the same data.

      Added in version 1.5.0.

  Examples

      >>> from pandas import testing as tm
      >>> a = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4])
      >>> b = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4])
      >>> tm.assert_series_equal(a, b)
