Java Assertion is a mechanism to indicate that the programmer thinks that something unexpected has happened. It is like a sanity check in a code and should be used to ensure that the code works as expected. Assertion statements are available since Java 1.4 and can be enabled or disabled as per requirement. Assertions should not be used for user input validation, the normal flow of program execution, or any exception handling.
