Hi!

I was reading through crypto.h and I saw the preconditions. Is this for us to worry about, or does the caller of the function have to worry about these preconditions?

Well, based on what was said in the lecture, what do you think? What's your interpretation, and if there are bits of the lecture you didn't understand, what exactly were they? Feel free to give timestamps to exact positions in the lecture recording, or excerpts from your written lecture notes.

In the lecture slides, it states "should we assert() that the preconditions for a function hold?"

That's not a statement: it's a question. Having presumably watched the lecture, what would your answer be?

Can you please clarify this confusion of mine.

I'm not sure what your confusion is, so I can't clarify it. What's confusing you, exactly?

Sorry I can't be of more assistance, but I'm happy to come back to this if you can provide more information. Remember that the links at the top of the forum (How do I ask a good question? and How to report bugs effectively) both basically recommend the same thing, when asking questions. You need to explain what you already understand (or what you've already tried), and then detail exactly what the problem is (what content did you not understand, or what commands failed?).

Cheers,
