What is the difference between the eq, eql, and be matchers?

The 'eq' matcher tests value equality (==), 'eql' tests value and type equality (eql?), and 'be' or 'equal' tests for object identity (same object in memory).

How do I create a custom RSpec matcher for my project?

You can define a custom matcher using the 'RSpec::Matchers.define' block, where you specify the 'match' logic and optional failure messages.

How do I test if an array contains specific elements in any order?

Use the 'contain_exactly' matcher or its alias 'match_array' to verify that an array has specific elements regardless of their sequence.

Can I test for multiple conditions in a single RSpec expectation?

Yes, RSpec supports compound matchers using '.and' and '.or' syntax to combine multiple matchers into a single assertion.

How do I test that a method call changes a database count?

Use the 'change' matcher inside an 'expect { ... }' block, specifying the object and attribute or a block to monitor the transition from one value to another.
