+Notice that under the `pytest.raises` context manager, it isn't necessary to perform the `npt.assert_allclose` because just the call to `patient_normalise()` will raise the `ValueError`.

 [`isinstance`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#isinstance)
 useful here, as well as the Python exception
 [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError).
+
+You can take this even further if your solution code involves multiple `ValueError`s or `TypeError`'s being raised at different locations.
+In this case, you want to make sure the function is raising the precise `Exception` that occurs at a specific point in your function.
+You might have noticed that `Exception`s can take a string argument corresponding to a message / description of the exception that has occurred.
+The [`pytest.raises()`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/reference/reference.html#pytest.raises) context manager can query this message with its `match=` argument.
+See if you can use that to more precisely test the exceptions raised by your function.
