For the following, give a nonempty input array A that would cause the stated assertion from Figure 3.39 to fail (that is, for the asserted condition to be false).
1. foo
2. bar
3. baz
Taking it further: Using assertions can be an extremely valuable way of documenting and debugging programs, particularly because liberally including assertions will allow the revelation of unexpected data values much earlier in the execution of a program. And these languages have a global toggle that allows the testing of assertions to be turned off, so once the programmer is satisfied that the program is working properly, she doesn’t have to worry about any running-time overhead for these checks
