Name
AssertionError
Synopsis
An instance of this class is thrown if
when an assertion fails. This happens when assertions are enabled,
and the expression following an assert
statement
does not evaluate to true
. If an assertion fails,
and the assert
statement has a second expression
separated from the first by a colon, then the second expression is
evaluated and the resulting value is passed to the
AssertionError( )
constructor, where it is
converted to a string and used as the error message.
