var assertErr = require('assert-err')function add (a, b) {
assertErr(typeof a === 'number', TypeError, '"a" must be a number')

#### Example 2: Error props
If using global.Error, assertErr accepts a argument to extend error
js
assertErr(false, Error, 'message', { code: 1, status: 'status' }) // 0 args
// { [Error: boom] code: 1, status: 'status' }
`
#### Example 3: args
assertErr supports up to 5 err constructor args
js
assertErr(false, CustomError) // 0 args
assertErr(false, CustomError, 'foo') // 1 args
assertErr(false, CustomError, 'foo', 'bar') // 2 args
assertErr(false, CustomError, 'foo', 'bar', 'qux') // 3 args
assertErr(false, CustomError, 'foo', 'bar', 'qux', 'corge') // 4 args
assertErr(false, CustomError, 'foo', 'bar', 'qux', 'corge', 'yolo') // 5 args
// error...
assertErr(false, CustomError, 'foo', 'bar', 'qux', 'corge', 'yolo', 'toomany') // 6 args
// Error: assertErr does not support more than five Error args
