What means "class basis"? Are they the classes that is in java.lang package?

THe option says, "Assertions can be enabled or disabled on a class by class basis.", which means you can enable or disable assertions even for an individual class. In other words, for example, you can enable assertion for one class but disable for another in the same program using -ea and -da switches.

I am not sure what you mean by java.lang package. The above statement is a general statement about any class.

HTH,
Paul.

Your answer took my doubts.
Tks

"Conditional compilation is used to allow an application that uses assertions to run with maximum performance"
Technically speaking this will remove any traces of assertions from the bytecode, making it smaller in size and increasing the performance. Right?

It is not about the size but the reduction in the number of instructions that have to be executed.

I understand, thank you
