Copyright

You may study, use, and modify these examples for any purpose. This means that you can use the examples, or modified versions of the examples in your programs, and you can even sell those programs. You can distribute the source code to these examples, but only for non-commercial purposes, and only as long as the copyright notice is retained. This means that you can make them available on a public Web site, for example, but that you cannot include them on a commercial CD-ROM without the prior permission of O'Reilly and Associates.

Note that these examples are provided AS-IS, with absolutely NO WARRANTY of any kind, either expressed or implied.

The filenames identify each example by its chapter number and example number. Example 1-1 is a complete Java program, and is also provided in a file named Factorial.java. As explained in Chapter 1, you can compile and run this program with commands like these:

javac Factorial.java
java Factorial 4

None of the remaining examples have main() methods, so they are not complete programs, and can not be run by themselves. Many of these examples do define Java classes, and, if appropriately renamed, they can be compiled, and used by other Java classes. (Although none of them are particularly useful!). Other examples are simply code fragments, which can be incorporated into other Java code, but which cannot be compiled as is.
