Chapter 4.2, Problem 24STQ

Explanation of Solution

Assertion:

  • It is a statement that provides information about the state of the program. It can be either “true” or “false” but it should be “true” if the program does not contain any errors. If it is “false”, then it is possible to halt the program by displaying an error message.
  • Assertion checking can be turned on by giving the statement “java –enableassertions program_Name”.
  • If assertion checking is not enabled then it is treated as a comment...
