assert
assert(cond)
Throw an AssertionError if cond is false. Also available as the macro @assert expr.
Examples
julia> assert(2 + 2 == 4)This example ensures that the condition 2 + 2 == 4 is true. If the condition is false, an AssertionError will be thrown.
julia> x = 5
julia> y = 10
julia> assert(x < y, "x must be smaller than y")In this case, the assertion checks if x < y is true. If it is false, an AssertionError with the provided custom error message "x must be smaller than y" will be thrown.
Common mistake example:
julia> assert(2 + 2 == 5, "Math is broken")
ERROR: AssertionError: Math is brokenHere, the assertion fails because the condition 2 + 2 == 5 is false. The provided error message "Math is broken" is displayed along with the AssertionError. Make sure to double-check the condition to avoid such mistakes.
