"""
"""assert:
evaluates an expression and raises AssertionError
if expression returns False
"""
assert 1 == 1  # does not raise an error
assert False  # raises AssertionError
# gives an error with a message as provided in the second argument
assert 1 + 1 == 3, "1 + 1 does not equal 3"
"""When line 7 is run:
AssertionError: 1 + 1 does not equal 3
"""

Example 2: assert python

x = "hello"

#if condition returns False, AssertionError is raised:
assert x == "goodbye", "x should be 'hello'"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo_ref_keyword_assert2.py", line 4, in <module>
    assert x == "goodbye", "x should be 'hello'"
AssertionError: x should be 'hello'

Example 3: what is assert

In simple words, if the assert condition is true then the
program control will execute the next test step but if the condition is
false, the execution will stop and further test step will not be executed.

Example 4: assert syntax python

assert <condition>,<error message>
#The assert condition must always be True, else it will stop execution and return the error message in the second argument
assert 1==2 , "Not True" #returns 'Not True' as Assertion Error.

Example 5: how to use assert in python

assert type(num) is int,"num must be an integer"
