Assertions

[Shiaber Shaam]

Wat are the appropriate places that we can use "assert false;".....
Also explain assertions...

[Ramasubbhu Allur Kuppusamy]

One way to use it would be to put it in a block of statements that you never want to be executed.

For example,

if(thisConditionShouldNeverBeTrue)
{
assert false; // throws assertion Error
}

Hope this helps a little.

[joshua antony]

you can use it here as well:

y--some int value

switch(y){
case 1: System.out.println(1);
break;
....
...
case n:
beak;
 
default:
System.out.println("We shouldnt have reached here!");
assert false;
}
