Conventions

You will also find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Running java -version should give output like this."

A block of code is set as follows:

public class Utility {
  public static boolean breakpoint() {
    System.out.println("Breakpoint");
    return false;
  }
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Choose a workspace, which is the location in which projects are to be stored, and click on OK:"
