The program is run with java -ea Listing41 - what will be the output?

public class Listing41
{
    Listing41(int v)
    {
        assert v > 0 : "v must be positive";
        System.out.println("built " + v);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new Listing41(1);
        new Listing41(0);
    }
}

  • A.built 1, then an AssertionError with message v must be positive
  • B.built 1 and built 0
  • C.An AssertionError before any output
  • D.Compilation fails.

Answer: A

The first construction passes the assertion and prints built 1. The second fails it, so the AssertionError is thrown inside the constructor before its print and propagates out of main. Note the object is never fully constructed on the failing call.
