(assert EXP [STRING ARG ...])syntax

Signals an error if EXP evaluates to false. An optional message STRING and arguments ARG ... may be supplied to give a more informative error-message. If compiled in unsafe mode (either by specifying the -unsafe compiler option or by declaring (unsafe)), then this expression expands to an unspecified value. The result is the value of EXP.
