  1. 1

    An assertion is something you say or write that you strongly believe is true. You put it out as a fact: “This is how it is.” It is a little formal; in easy talk people say a claim, or just “what she said.” In class, your assertion is the point you stand on. In computer code, an assertion is a safety check: if something that should be true is not true, the program stops. Though actually, an assertion is not a proof. You can say it firmly and still be wrong. A strong voice and a true fact are not the same thing.

    斷言；主張
