The desiredAssertionStatus() method of java.lang.Class class is used to get the Assertion Status of this class, that would get assigned to the class when this method gets invoked. The method returns the Assertion Status of this class in the form of a boolean value.
Syntax:
public boolean desiredAssertionStatus()
Parameter: This method does not accepts any parameter
Return Value: This method returns the specified Assertion Status of this class in the form of a boolean value.
Below programs demonstrate the desiredAssertionStatus() method.
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// desiredAssertionStatus() method import java.util.*; public class Test { public Object obj; public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException { // returns the Class object for this class Class myClass = Class.forName("Test"); System.out.println("Class represented by myClass: " + myClass.toString()); // Get the Assertion Status of myClass // using desiredAssertionStatus() method System.out.println("Assertion Status of myClass: " + myClass.desiredAssertionStatus()); }} |
Output:
Class represented by myClass: class Test Assertion Status of myClass: false
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// desiredAssertionStatus() method import java.util.*; class Main { private Object obj; public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchFieldException { try { // returns the Class object for this class Class myClass = Class.forName("Main"); System.out.println("Class represented by myClass: " + myClass.toString()); // Get the Assertion Status of myClass // using desiredAssertionStatus() method System.out.println("Assertion Status of myClass: " + myClass.desiredAssertionStatus()); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); } }} |
Output:
Class represented by myClass: class Main Assertion Status of myClass: false
