Syntax:
</p>
<pre class="c code c++" style="font-family:monospace;"> <span class="co2">#include <cassert></span>
assert<span class="br0">(</span> exp <span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span></pre>
<p>
The assert() macro is used to test for errors. If exp evaluates to zero, assert
() writes information to stderr and exits the program. If the macro NDEBUG is
defined, the assert() macros will be ignored..
