Do Programmers Actually Use Assertions?

Posted by Cliff on from the there-are-some-out-there dept.

P.Chalin queries: "Do programmers actually use assertions (like the assert statement of various programming languages)? If so, what should be done when errors or exceptions are raised during the evaluation of an assertion? I am collecting opinions and stats via a short questionnaire. Thanks."

    Real programmers do not use them. Code works fine the first time. You have "bugs" in your code???
