Features: This book is written by the inventor of Java technology and is the authoritative technical guide for the Java programming language. If you want to understand the precise meaning of the language's construction, this is the best resource. It comprehensively, accurately, and thoroughly discusses the Java programming language. It provides a complete description of all new features added since the previous edition, including generics, annotations, assertions, autoboxing, enums, for-each loops, varargs methods, and static import clauses. The book attempts to detail the syntax and semantics specifications of the Java language. The authors attempt to describe the behavior of every language construct so that all implementations accept the same program. Except for time-dependent or indeterminate factors, if given enough time and sufficient memory space, a program written in the Java programming language should compute the same result on all machines and all implementations.
