Almanac Legend
Almanac Legend
The Almanac format presents all classes and interfaces in
alphabetic order. Each class displays a list of its members in alphabetic order,
mixing fields, methods, and constructors together.
The Almanac format used in this book is modeled after the style
introduced by Patrick Chan in his excellent book, JavaTM Developers Almanac.
-
The name of the class or interface. If the name refers to an
interface, its name is printed in italics.
-
The name of the package containing the class or
interface.
-
The inheritance chain of superclasses. A class is a subclass of
the one above it. Inheritance hierarchies for interfaces are not displayed,
because interfaces can potentially inherit multiple superinterfaces.
-
The names of the interfaces implemented by the class to its
left on the same line.
-
Icons that indicate modifiers or members. If the "protected"
symbol does not appear, the member is public. Private and package-private
members have no symbols and are not shown.
