input: Write a function to check if two given integers are equal. If the integers are equal, return "The two integers are equal"; otherwise, return "The two integers are not equal". The function should take two parameters: the first integer and the second integer.
  assert check_integers(10, 10) == "The two integers are equal"
  assert check_integers(5, 7) == "The two integers are not equal"
  assert check_integers(0, 0) == "The two integers are equal"
  assert check_integers(-3, 3) == "The two integers are not equal"
  assert check_integers(-1, -1) == "The two integers are equal"
output: def check_integers(a, b):
      if a == b:
          return "The two integers are equal"
      else:
          return "The two integers are not equal"
