Java’s syntax #

This website contains Java code snippets that illustrate how to perform certain operations. However, this documentation is far from exhaustive (on purpose).

When it comes to syntax, the first two sources of complementary material for this course are:

  • the Javadoc of the libraries (standard and auxiliary) used in projects and assignments. An IDE is often the fastest way to navigate through it,
  • the web.
