AFAIK, this is a legal assert.
try {
        flt = fConvert(sb.toString());
    } catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
        assert true: "Unexpected NumberFormatException while parsing " + s1;
    }
It generates the following error in Problems.

This is a stupid bug and I am embarrassed that I put in assert true when I should have used assert false.

Sorry for the bother.

Closing as INVALID.
