  }
  public int getAge() {
    return age;
  }
  public void setAge(int age) {
    this.age = age;

package com.bethecoder.tutorials.guava.base_tests;

import com.bethecoder.tutorials.guava.common.Student;
import com.google.common.base.Preconditions;

public class CheckStatePreTest {

  /**
   * @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    //Throws IllegalStateException - if expression is false
    //Preconditions.checkState(expression, errorMessage)
    
    Student student = new Student("Sriram", 2, "Chess");
    Student student2 = new Student("Charan", 8, "Cricket");
    
    /**
     * Negative case
     */
    try {
      Preconditions.checkState(student2.isKid(), 
        "This program requires Students below 5 years, but found %s", student2.getAge());
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
      System.out.println(e);
    }
    
    /**
     * Positive case
     */
    Preconditions.checkState(student.isKid(), 
        "This program requires Students below 5 years, but found %s", student.getAge());
    
    System.out.println("Thanks for providing valid input");
  }

}
   

It gives the following output, 
java.lang.IllegalStateException: This program requires Students below 5 years, but found 8
Thanks for providing valid input
