Assertions ---------- Use ``assert`` to ensure that given condition is true. .. code-block:: mys assert True assert 1 != 5 assert 1 in [1, 3] v = 1 assert v == 2 The ``AssertionError`` error is raised if the condition is not true. .. code-block:: text AssertionError(message="1 == 2 is not true") Assertions are always compiled into test and debug binaries, but not by default into optimized application binaries.
