Exercises
Ive discovered that simple exercises are exceptionally useful to complete a students understanding during a seminar, so youll find a set at the end of each chapter.
Most exercises are designed to be easy enough that they can be finished in a reasonable amount of time in a classroom situation while the instructor observes, making sure that all the students are absorbing the material. Some are more challenging, but none present major challenges. (Presumably, youll find those on your ownor more likely, theyll find you).
Solutions to selected exercises can be found in the electronic document The Thinking in Java Annotated Solution Guide, available for a small fee from www.BruceEckel.com.
