What real life situations can assertions be used for?

Simple testing and debugging of course! For example, you wrote a function that doubles a number, and you want to test it. You may want to write a file with some testcases like assert f(2) == 4 assert f(0) == 0 and run it every time you change your f() function to make sure that its behaviour hasn't changed.

Assertion is used on unit testing of code block. It helps to validate the input and output of a function and raise appropriate exception for negative values.

Use it for input test. Also... the simplest way to check how it goes.
