What happens if an assert condition is false?
Short answer. Java throws an AssertionError.
Should you use assert to check user input?
No, because assertions can be switched off. Use an if with a message.
Remember
| Use it while testing |
| Never for user input |
Can Java stop you when your own logic goes wrong? Assert checks a condition. If it is false, Java throws AssertionError. It works only with java minus e a. Use asserts while testing. Never use them for user input.
