assert is a function available in the cassert header file that enables immediate termination of a program if an expression evaluates to false. It can be used to exit from a program at any point, even inside a function.

#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
     cout << "Enter numerator: ";
     double numerator;
     cin >> numerator;

     cout << "Enter denominator: ";
     double denominator;
     cin >> denominator;

     assert(denominator != 0);

     cout << "Result is: " << numerator / denominator << endl;

     return 0;
}

Output:

Enter numerator: 5
Enter denominator: 0
a.out: assert.cpp:16: int main(): Assertion `denominator != 0' failed.
Aborted
