Asserts are like if?

Question

you compare data and if is right continue and if not(else) raise an exception?

Answer 1

Kind of. Using assert supports debugging and yes, it works as if you check on a condition being True. If it is False, AssertionError() is raised.

Answer 2

Seems like that. Only that there ain’t an “else” statement to execute. Either you go through and execute the next command or you land into an error.

Answer 3

Thanks a lot

Answer 4

Answer 5

I also had the same doubt!thanks.

Answer 6

Use accerts in testing the code ... I have not seen accerts in production code .... some one can correct me if my assumption is wrong

Answer 7

What I have seen is that asserts stop completely if anything turns out to be false.
