Class AssertionError

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public class AssertionError
extends Error
    Thrown to indicate that an assertion has failed.

    The seven one-argument public constructors provided by this class ensure that the assertion error returned by the invocation: 

         new AssertionError(expression)
    has as its detail message the string conversion of expression (as defined in section 15.18.1.1 of The Java™ Language Specification), regardless of the type of expression.
    Since:
