assertion

[meena latha]

public class Test
{
public void foo()
{
assert false;
assert false;
}

public void bar()
{
while(true)
{
assert false;
}
assert false;//line 1
}
}

This program generates a compile error.Can anybody explain this to me.
It will be appreciated if you provide me a link to know about assertion.

Line 1 is unreachable because the compiler detects the endless while loop.
Hence you get unreachable statement error.
