void assert(scalar expression);
With assert you can test your programm for logical errors.
The assert () macro will insert diagnostics into programs
When executed, if expression (which is a scalar type you have) is false (ie, compares equal to 0),
assert (), provide information about the particular call that failed to stderr and abort ()
#include <iostream> /* including standard library */ #include <cassert> using namespace std; int testfunc(int a, int b) { assert( (a >= 0 && a >= b) && (b >= 0) ); return a / b; } int main ( void ) { cout << "9 / 4 = " << testfunc(9, 4) << endl; cout << "1 / 0 = " << testfunc(1, 1) << endl; cout << "1 / 0 = " << testfunc(0, 9) << endl; return 0; }
9 / 4 = 2 1 / 0 = 1 assert: assert.cpp:7: testfunc: Assertion `(a >= 0 && a >= b) && (b >= 0)' failed. canceled
