Hi Wilder,
I hope we can 
There have been several places in the assignment where I have used assertions as the first line in an Exception handler to indicate that the scenario should never occur. It is great - the assertion effectively comments the code while actually doing something useful! I still have code afterwards to handle the exception, but the assertion makes it very clear to anyone reading my code what my opinion of the chances of the exception occuring are.
Funny though - I hated assertions in C - there was no way to switch them off (without a recompile), and they provided little help (unless you also had core dumps). But in Java they are cool.
Regards, Andrew
