The 'assert' syntax is that this statement doesn’t require a pair of parentheses to group the expression and the optional message. In Python, 'assert' is a statement instead of a function. The parentheses turn the assertion expression and message into a two-item tuple, which always evaluates to true, making the assertion useless.
