How to programmatically enable assert?

Question

How can I programmatically enable assert for particular classes, instead of specifying command line param \"-ea\"?

public class TestAssert {

    private sta         


        

Answer 1

The simplest & best way can be:

public static void assertion(boolean condition, String conditionFailureMessage)
{
    if(!condition)
        throw new AssertionError(conditionFailureMessage);
}

No need to set -ea as VM argument .

call the function like :

assertion(sum>=n,"sum cannot be less than n");

If assertion fails, code will give AssertionError, else code will run safely.
