/**
 * Static convenience methods that help a method or constructor check whether it was invoked
 * correctly (that is, whether its <i>preconditions</i> were met).
 *
 * <p>If the precondition is not met, the {@code Preconditions} method throws an unchecked exception
 * of a specified type, which helps the method in which the exception was thrown communicate that
 * its caller has made a mistake. This allows constructs such as
 *
 * {@snippet :
 * public static double sqrt(double value) {
 *   if (value < 0) {
 *     throw new IllegalArgumentException("input is negative: " + value);
 *   }
 *   // calculate square root
 * }
 * }
 *
 * <p>to be replaced with the more compact
 *
 * {@snippet :
 * public static double sqrt(double value) {
 *   checkArgument(value >= 0, "input is negative: %s", value);
 *   // calculate square root
 * }
 * }
 *
 * <p>so that a hypothetical bad caller of this method, such as:
 *
 * {@snippet :
 * void exampleBadCaller() {
 *   double d = sqrt(-1.0);
 * }
 * }
 *
 * <p>would be flagged as having called {@code sqrt()} with an illegal argument.
 *
 * <h3>Performance</h3>
 *
 * <p>Avoid passing message arguments that are expensive to compute; your code will always compute
 * them, even though they usually won't be needed. If you have such arguments, use the conventional
 * if/throw idiom instead.
 *
 * <p>Depending on your message arguments, memory may be allocated for boxing and varargs array
 * creation. However, the methods of this class have a large number of overloads that prevent such
 * allocations in many common cases.
 *
 * <p>The message string is not formatted unless the exception will be thrown, so the cost of the
 * string formatting itself should not be a concern.
 *
 * <p>As with any performance concerns, you should consider profiling your code (in a production
 * environment if possible) before spending a lot of effort on tweaking a particular element.
 *
 * <h3>Other types of preconditions</h3>
 *
 * <p>Not every type of precondition failure is supported by these methods. Continue to throw
 * standard JDK exceptions such as {@link java.util.NoSuchElementException} or {@link
 * UnsupportedOperationException} in the situations they are intended for.
 *
 * <h3>Non-preconditions</h3>
 *
 * <p>It is of course possible to use the methods of this class to check for invalid conditions
 * which are <i>not the caller's fault</i>. Doing so is <b>not recommended</b> because it is
 * misleading to future readers of the code and of stack traces. See <a
 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/ConditionalFailuresExplained">Conditional failures
 * explained</a> in the Guava User Guide for more advice. Notably, {@link Verify} offers assertions
 * similar to those in this class for non-precondition checks.
 *
 * <h3>{@code java.util.Objects.requireNonNull()}</h3>
 *
 * <p>Projects which use {@code com.google.common} should generally avoid the use of {@link
 * java.util.Objects#requireNonNull(Object)}. Instead, use whichever of {@link
 * #checkNotNull(Object)} or {@link Verify#verifyNotNull(Object)} is appropriate to the situation.
 * (The same goes for the message-accepting overloads.)
 *
 * <h3>Only {@code %s} is supported</h3>
 *
 * <p>{@code Preconditions} uses {@link Strings#lenientFormat} to format error message template
 * strings. This only supports the {@code "%s"} specifier, not the full range of {@link
 * java.util.Formatter} specifiers. However, note that if the number of arguments does not match the
 * number of occurrences of {@code "%s"} in the format string, {@code Preconditions} will still
 * behave as expected, and will still include all argument values in the error message; the message
 * will simply not be formatted exactly as intended.
 *
 * <h3>More information</h3>
 *
 * <p>See the Guava User Guide on <a
 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/PreconditionsExplained">using {@code
 * Preconditions}</a>.
