Have had many cases where an error in a parameter to a function doesn't show up until sometime later after the function has returned, making it very hard to find out what the error was. Worse still, there are some errors that will just give incorrect results without giving an error. Much easier to catch the errors as soon as possible. Having asserts through your code also helps document the assumptions you made when you wrote it, which in turn makes it easier to understand the code. -- Brian May <[email protected]>
