How do I use `assert` statements

In Python, `assert` statements are used as a debugging aid that tests a condition. If the condition is `true`, the program continues executing. If the condition is `false`, an `AssertionError` is raised, which can help developers catch bugs early in the development process.

Example of using `assert` statements

# Example in Python def divide(a, b): assert b != 0, "The divisor cannot be zero." return a / b # This will work print(divide(10, 2)) # This will raise an AssertionError print(divide(10, 0))
