## assert.doesNotThrow(block[, message])
## assert.doesNotThrow(block[, error][, message])

Expects `block` not to throw an error, see `assert.throws` for details.
Expects `block` not to throw an error. See [assert.throws()](#assert_assert_throws_block_error_message) for more details.

If `block` throws an error and if it is of a different type from `error`, the thrown error will get propagated back to the caller. The following call will throw the `TypeError`, since we're not matching the error types in the assertion.

assert.doesNotThrow(
function() {
throw new TypeError("Wrong value");
},
SyntaxError
);

In case `error` matches with the error thrown by `block`, an `AssertionError` is thrown instead.

assert.doesNotThrow(
function() {
throw new TypeError("Wrong value");
},
TypeError
);

## assert.ifError(value)
