+      # Used to specify a message that you expect or allow an object

+      # supported, allowing you to constrain the arguments or number of
+      # times, and configure how the object should respond to the message.
+      #
+      # @example

+      #   expect(obj).to receive(:hello).with("world").exactly(3).times
