Exercise

Convert an example into a test

Unit tests are crucial for verifying the behavior of individual components in the unitConverter package. They help catch bugs and errors early, providing a safety net during code modification. Additionally, unit tests facilitate collaboration among developers and maintain code quality.

In this exercise, you will be given a code example from the unitConverter package. Converting examples into unit tests is a common first step in creating them. Successfully defining the expectation function is an important piece in unit test creation.

The testthat package and the unitConverter package at this point in development have been loaded for you.
