title: Assertion Error issue
body: <p>I have posted this elsewhere, no solution yet, so posting it here as well. The below mentioned code is not throwing an assertion error as I expected it to since num is less than 5. Hope someone can advise. Thank you. </p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Wrong {  
  public static void main(String[] args) {      
      Wrong wrong = new Wrong();            
      wrong.methodE(3);                 
      }     
      //AssertionError  
      void methodE(int num)  
      {  
          assert(num&gt;5);  
      }  
  }  
  </code></pre>
