通常用法是:shell
assert condition
用來讓程序測試這個condition,若是condition爲False則拋出一個AssertionError,邏輯上等同於測試
if not condition: raise AssertionError()
好比下面的例子code
>>> assert 1==1 >>> assert 1==0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module> assert 1==0 AssertionError >>> assert True >>> assert False Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module> assert False AssertionError >>> assert 3<2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module> assert 3<2 AssertionError
