Assert Statements in Python
Python’s assert statement is a debugging aid that tests a condition. If the condition is true, it does nothing and your program just continues to execute. But if the assert condition evaluates to false, it raises an AssertionError exception with an optional error message.
The goal of using assertions is to let developers find the likely root cause of a bug more quickly. An assertion error should never be raised unless there’s a bug in your program. They’re not intended to signal expected error conditions, like “file not found”, where a user can take corrective action or just try again.
