Java keyword: assert

The assert keyword is used in assert statement which is a feature of the Java programming language since Java 1.4. Assertion enables developers to test assumptions in their programs as a way to defect and fix bugs.

Syntax of assert statement
Syntax of an assert statement is as follow (short version):

assert expression1;

or (full version):

assert expression1 : expression2;

Where:
·expression1 must be a boolean expression.
·expression2 must return a value (must not return void).
The assert statement is working as follows:

  If assertion is enabled, then the assert statement will be evaluated. Otherwise, it does not get executed.

  If expression1 is evaluated to false, an AssertionError error is thrown which causes the program stops immediately. And depending on existence of expression2:

  If expression2 does not exist, then the AssertionError is thrown with no detail error message:
If expression2 does exist, then a String representation of expression2’s return value is used as detail error message.
If expression1 is evaluate to true, then the program continues normally.

Enable assertion
By default, assertion is disabled at runtime. To enable assertion, specify the switch –enableassertions or -ea at command line of java program. For example, to enable assertion for the program called CarManager:

java –enableassertions CarManager

or this for short:

java –ea CarManager

Assertion can be enabled or disable specifically for named classes or packages. For more information on how to enable and disable assertion, go to: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/guide/lang/assert.html#enable-disable

Assertion examples
The following simple program illustrates the short version of assert statement:

public class AssertionExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// get a number in the first argument
int number = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);

    assert number <= 10; // stops if number > 10

    System.out.println("Pass");

}

}
When running the program above with this command:

java -ea AssertionExample 15

A java.lang.AssertionError error will be thrown:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AssertionError

   at AssertionExample.main(AssertionExample.java:6)

But the program will continue and print out “Pass” if we pass a number less than 10, in this command:

java -ea AssertionExample 8

And the following example is using the full version of assert statement:

public class AssertionExample2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {

    int argCount = args.length;

    assert argCount == 5 : "The number of arguments must be 5";

    System.out.println("OK");

}

}
When running the program above with this command:

java -ea AssertionExample2 1 2 3 4

it will throw this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AssertionError: The number of arguments must be 5

   at AssertionExample2.main(AssertionExample2.java:6)

Generally, assertion is enabled during development time to defect and fix bugs, and is disabled at deployment or production to increase performance.

使用duckie为JS做强类型检查

摘要：比如篇首这东西，使用声明声明一个类型跟声明一个对象般简单，完全没有学习成本。总结使用可以像声明一个变量那样声明你的类型，且可以在运行时进行类型检查。 JS是一门动态类型语言，在定义一个函数时，无法为其进行强类型指定，如： function hello(name: string, content: string) { // 如果name或content不是string类型的话，就...
