What do preconditions describe? What do postconditions describe? Do all methods have pre- and postconditions? How do pre- and postconditions relate to code for error handling?

What will be an ideal response?


Preconditions describe the things that must be true before a method is called.

Postconditions describe what will be true after the method finishes executing.

Not all methods have pre- and postconditions.

Pre- and postconditions need to be determined before code for error handling can be written. If a caller does not meet the preconditions, the method probably will not meet the postconditions. Exceptions can be used to enforce preconditions.
