RE: What is the difference between Assertion and Exception?

There is no concept called Assertion present in Java. Exception is the program error which arises due to uncontrolable condition. This condition can be arised automatically from to program code(Eg. DataBase Connectivity File handling) or condition can be customized and customized exception can be thrown.
