    026/**
    027 * This class assists in validating arguments. The validation methods are
    028 * based along the following principles:
    029 * <ul>
    030 *   <li>An invalid {@code null} argument causes a {@link NullPointerException}.</li>
    031 *   <li>A non-{@code null} argument causes an {@link IllegalArgumentException}.</li>
    032 *   <li>An invalid index into an array/collection/map/string causes an {@link IndexOutOfBoundsException}.</li>
    033 * </ul>
    034 *
    035 * <p>All exceptions messages are
    036 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax">format strings</a>
    037 * as defined by the Java platform. For example:
    038 *
    039 * <pre>
    040 * Validate.isTrue(i &gt; 0, "The value must be greater than zero: %d", i);
    041 * Validate.notNull(surname, "The surname must not be %s", null);
    042 * </pre>
    043 *
    044 * <p>#ThreadSafe#</p>
