Discussion :: Assertions
-
public class Test2 { public static int x; public static int foo(int y) { return y * 2; } public static void main(String [] args) { int z = 5; assert z > 0; /* Line 11 */ assert z > 2: foo(z); /* Line 12 */ if ( z 7 ) assert z > 4; /* Line 14 */ switch (z) { case 4: System.out.println("4 "); case 5: System.out.println("5 "); default: assert z 10; } if ( z 10 ) assert z > 4: z++; /* Line 22 */ System.out.println(z); } }
which line is an example of an inappropriate use of assertions?
Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Assert statements should not cause side effects. Line 22 changes the value of z if the assert statement is false.
Option A is fine; a second expression in an assert statement is not required.
Option B is fine because it is perfectly acceptable to call a method with the second expression of an assert statement.
Option C is fine because it is proper to call an assert statement conditionally.
