I'd like to read your opinions about a method.

Question

Hi everyone.
Just want opinions.
If someone tells u that its only going to use the method , what kind of asserts would u use?
They told me that , i must use asserts, but i already have an assert in the main (which is not going to be used by them)
They have their own main to test.
So do i use the same assert in the method , the same that i used in the main method?
here is the method :
public static boolean temMaisAlgarismosDoQueAMediaDosAlgarismos(final int number) {
// the only assert that can be used here is
assert 0 < number : number ;
          return true
        else return false;Is there another assert that i could use ? if yes, which one?
Can't use an assert for the return value , cuz its a loigical (true or false).
Need opinions.
Thank you
Josh

Answer 1

ok here is the method.
Insert a number which will be passed as a parameter .
if the the number of digits is greater than the media of the same digits, return true else false.
e.g : 132 --> Media = 2 number of digits : 3 so return true. simple.
Can i use another assert beside that one?.
public static boolean temMaisAlgarismosDoQueAMediaDosAlgarismos(final int number)
       //Assertion: If (numero <= 0) "Error"          
       assert 0 < numero : numero;
          int sum = 0;
          int numero_auxiliar = numero;
          int count = 0;
          int media;
          while (number_aux > 0){
          int digit = number_aux % 10;
          number_aux  /= 10;
          sum += digit;
          if(number >= 0) count++;
          media =(int) (sum / count);
          if(count > media)
               return true;
          else
               return false;
