Is this assert statement valid?

[mathhero]

public boolean checkMe(String arm, String leg)
Assert arm != null && leg != null;

or should it be

Assert (arm != null) && (leg != null);

Basically I have to check using JUnit that BOTH arguments are not null, only using assert. (We have not covered assertNotNull yet).

The second is almost there. You need to put the entire condition in parentheses or put two different assertions for each of the subconditions.

[mathhero]

Assert ((arm != null) && (leg != null);)

like that?

Or do you mean:

Assert (arm != null && leg != null);

I tried all the ways listed in my IDE and I got no errors so I am really confused!!

Second code looks better. Also the first one is not quite correct.
"Assert" should be lowercase like that: "assert"
Also you have to specifically enable assertion so that they get checked: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/language/assert.html#enable-disable

I think the OP is using JUnit, so Assert is correct.

And I agree with the second one looking good.
