assert() in nested function

Question

What will happen if I use assert() inside the function inside() which is called from the function main() ?
If condition is true then control returns to function main() . What if condition is false? Do it return back to function main() or exit from the contract execution ?
As far as I know if the condition is false then It throws. This throws exit the function or exit the contract execution ?

function inside(){  
      assert(x>y);  

  }  
  function main(){  
      inside();  

  }  

Answer 1

in short : the function assert(bool condition) : throws if the condition is not met.thus in your code if the condition is false the inside function will throw and stop the contract execution.
