Will asserts stay after compilation in release mode?
No. The only assert that remains in release mode is assert(false)
or assert(0) as a way to identify that you've reached a piece of
code that shouldn't be executed.

Use assertions when a variable's value should not depend on

For example, let's say you want to write a square root function.
The input must be >= 0, and because this depends on external
factors (e.g. user input), yo

Thank you for the valuable information! The difference between
assert and enforce is now clearer in my mind.
Also, that's a great trick with enforce.

To make it real simple:
- assert on stuff you know has to be true regardless of circumstances
