Assertions

[jayragz]

Hey,
I want to test the following method,

public String equateGrades(String marks){

 double mark = Double.parseDouble(marks);
     String[] grades = setGrades();
   

  for(int i =0;i<4;i++){

     if((mark<=100)&&(70<=mark)){

         grade = grades[0]+" and has a distinction";
     }
     else if((mark<=60)&&(69<=mark)){

         grade = grades[1]+" and has a credit";

     }
     else if((mark<=59)&&(50<=mark)){

         grade = grades[2]+" and has a pass";

     }
     else if((mark<=49)&&(40<=mark)){

         grade = grades[3]+" and has barely passed";

     }
     else if(mark<40){

         grade = grades[4]+" and has to redo his/her exams";

     }
  }

    return grade;
}

the grades are defined in the following method,

public String[] setGrades(){
String[] grades = new String[5];

    grades[0]="A";
    grades[1]="B";
    grades[2]="C";
    grades[3]="D";
    grades[4]="E";


    return grades;
}

Is there an assertion that checks whether a certain mark,say 50 is equivalent to a grade of C?
