How to turn on assert in TextPad ?

[Kay Liew]

How do i enable assert for the following class in TextPad ? Trying to use the -ea -da , but i do not think that is suitable for TextPad.

 
class TestAssert{ //begin
 
public static int y;
public static int foo(int x){//foo start
System.out.println("foo");
y=x;
}//foo end
 

public static void bar(int z){//bar start
 
System.out.println("bar");
y=z;
}//bar end
 
public static void main(String [] args){//main start
 
int t=2;
assert t < 4: bar(7);
assert t > 1: foo(8);
System.out.println("done");
 

}//main end
 

}//end  

Thanks,

Assertions are enabled with the "-ea" command when running the program from the Command Line. You do not enable assertions by modifying your source file (using TextPad).

For assertions to work, the file needs to be compiled with "-source 1.4" (without quotation marks) between the javac command and the file name.

By default, assertions are disabled when the program is run. To enable assertions, run the program with "-ea" (without quotation marks) between the java command and the file name.

Compiling with assertions:
javac - source 1.4 Filename.java

Running with assertions:
java -ea Filename
