Assert and raise

Question

Hello
Who can help me?
Is there a difference between these codes?! 👇👇👇
Both in this case and in other cases;

if 2==3:
pass
else:
raise AssertionError

.............................................................

assert 2==3

Answer 1

there is a difference between these codes, - the first code checks whether 2 equals 3. If it is not, an AssertionError exception is thrown. This exception can be handled by a try-except block, or it can halt program execution if not handled, - the second code uses the assert statement, the assert statement tests the condition and, if it is not true, throws an AssertionError exception, the exception can be handled by a try-except block, or it can halt program execution if not handled. Note that the assert statement can be disabled system-wide using the -O option.

In general, the assert statement is used as a debugging mechanism to verify the correctness of the code. Raise is used to explicitly throw an exception when a certain condition is not met -
