<h3 id=assertions>Assertions</h3>

<p>To improve readability, it can sometimes help to add assertions to algorithms, stating
invariants. To do this, write "Assert:", followed by a statement that must be true. If the statement
ends up being false that indicates an issue with the document using the Infra Standard that should
be reported and addressed.

<p class=note>Since the statement can only ever be true, it has no implications for implementations.

<div class=example id=example-assert>
<ol>
<li><p>Let |x| be "<code>Aperture Science</code>".
<li><p>Assert: |x| is "<code>Aperture Science</code>".
