Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."
A block of code is set as follows:
try ( Scanner xmlScanner = new Scanner(new File(xmlFile)); {
while (xmlScanner.hasNext()) {
// read the xml document and perform needed operations
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
public default void fastWalk() {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter desired pacing: ");
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
$ java --version
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
