Python assert 断言

Python assert 断言

使用语法为：

assert expression [, arguments]

当expression为False时，触发异常，并返回arguments。在这里的arguments可以为字符串或者其他表达式等。

例1（无参数）：

def test(a):
    assert len(a)<10, 

a = [x for x in range(20)]
test(a)

例1错误信息为：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/lixiang/Desktop/ForJob/Py_assert.py", line 5, in <module>
    test(a)
  File "/Users/lixiang/Desktop/ForJob/Py_assert.py", line 2, in test
    assert len(a)<10
AssertionError

---

例2（参数为字符串）：

def test(a):
    assert len(a)<10, 'Input is too long'

a = [x for x in range(20)]
test(a)

例2错误信息为：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/lixiang/Desktop/ForJob/Py_assert.py", line 7, in <module>
    test(a)
  File "/Users/lixiang/Desktop/ForJob/Py_assert.py", line 4, in test
    assert len(a)<10, 'Input is too long'
AssertionError: Input is too long

---

例3（参数为表达式）：
个人想法：可以利用表达式这个特性，来动态地根据错误发生的实际情况来产生不同的错误信息，以便更好地来查找错误。

def test(a):
    assert len(a)<10, 'The length of input is ' + str(len(a)) + ' , and we just need 10.'

a = [x for x in range(20)]
test(a)

例3错误信息为：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/lixiang/Desktop/ForJob/Py_assert.py", line 7, in <module>
    test(a)
  File "/Users/lixiang/Desktop/ForJob/Py_assert.py", line 4, in test
    assert len(a)<10, 'The length of input is ' + str(len(a)) + ' , and we just need 10.'
AssertionError: The length of input is 20 , and we just need 10.

assert 和 if not … raise 实现相同功能：
例4：

def test(a):
    if not len(a)<10:
        raise ValueError

a = [x for x in range(20)]
test(a)

例4错误信息：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/lixiang/Desktop/ForJob/Py_assert.py", line 8, in <module>
    test(a)
  File "/Users/lixiang/Desktop/ForJob/Py_assert.py", line 5, in test
    raise ValueError
ValueError
