Why is "It will throw an AssertionException if 'i' is not equal to 20" not the correct answer ?

[admin]

Because the correct name is AssertionError and not AssertionException.

HTH,

HI, If I run this It should be throwing assertion error
But In this case it is printing 9 !!
Am I missing something here.? Please reply.

public class AssertTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

m1();

}
static public void m1()
{
int i = 9;

try{
assert i == 20;
}
catch(Exception e){
i = 20; }
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}

[Anu]

Forgot to mention taht I have enabled Assertion while running it

[Anu]

Never mind...
I had put -ea in program arguments in eclipse.
It shd have been in VM arguments.

Why "The program will not compile" is not the answer, since "i" is a local variable and it's not initialized?

[admin]

Why do you think it is not initialized when the code clearly says: //code that initializes i goes here
