What does assert(0) mean?
I had a question like this on one of my exams and I'm still not too sure how to answer it. I understand that assertions are ways to test your program, however I'm not too sure what assert(0) is checking. Is this a trick question? It will always fail, but I don't understand why.

If you're asking for an application then you would put it in code blocks that really shouldn't happen. switch(suit) { case
