what is Assertion?..

Answer / raja moram

The concept of suspending the execution of a function based
on the user defined condition is known as ASSERTION.
We implement the concept of Assertions using 'assert' keyword.
We use 'assert' keyword by mentioning a condition, if the
mentioned condition is not satisfied the 'assert' keyword
suspends the execution of the method in the middle and
transfers the control along with the 'AssertionError' class
object to the calling place.
Here 'AssertionError' is the subclass of 'Error'class.
To enable Assertions application:
java -ea <className>
This concept of ASSERTIONS is introduced from JDK 1.5 onwards
