public class Test2
{
public static int x;
public static int foo(int y)
{
return y * 2;
}
public static void main(String [] args)
{
int z = 5;
assert z > 0; /* Line 11 */
assert z > 2: foo(z); /* Line 12 */
if ( z < 7 )
assert z > 4; /* Line 14 */
switch (z)
{
case 4: System.out.println("4 ");
case 5: System.out.println("5 ");
default: assert z < 10;
}
if ( z < 10 )
assert z > 4: z++; /* Line 22 */
System.out.println(z);
}
}


which line is an example of an inappropriate use of assertions?


Options:
A .  Line 11
B .  Line 12
C .  Line 14
D .  Line 22
Answer: Option D

Assert statements should not cause side effects. Line 22 changes the value of z if the assert 

statement is false.

Option A is fine; a second expression in an assert statement is not required.

Option B is fine because it is perfectly acceptable to call a method with the second expression of an assert statement.

Option C is fine because it is proper to call an assert statement conditionally.
