Preface
This book gives a concise description of the Java 2 programming language, versions 1.3 and 1.4. It is a
quick reference for the reader who has already learned (or is learning) Java from a standard textbook
and who wants to know the language in more detail. The book presents the entire Java programming
language and essential parts of the class libraries: the collection classes and the input-output classes.
General rules are shown on left-hand pages mostly, and corresponding examples are shown on right-
hand pages only. All examples are fragments of legal Java programs. The complete ready-to-run
example programs are available from the book Web site

The book does not cover garbage collection, finalization and weak references, reflection, details of
IEEE754 floating-point numbers, or Javadoc.
