We have posted a 14-page excerpt on assertions (with review questions) from the forthcoming second edition of our book:
A Programmer's Guide to Java Certification: A Comprehensive Primer
by Khalid A. Mughal and Rolf W. Rasmussen

The notes can be downloaded from here:

Enjoy!

Khalid-
The assertions chapter looks like an excellent resource (as was/is the rest of your 1.2 book). When will the 1.4 book be published?

Jessica, the site says the book will be published in the first quarter of 2003.
The notes look excellent Khalid!

Ehh, I will take the 1.4 exam after noon today, and read your chapter about assertions, and I�m impressed!
But I�m little bit confused about the question marked 5.26.
The answer is "AssertionException".
I have not seen anywhere this Exception (if you don�t write it your self), only AssertionError i throws, or???
Thanks,
/Thomas

Question 5.26 answer is:


The class of exceptions thrown by assertion statement is always AssertionException.


I searched the API for AssertionException class but only found AssertionError
is it a typo??
