This is the annotated solution guide for
Thinking in Java, 3rd edition by Bruce Eckel. Thinking in
Java is available in print form from Prentice Hall and freely downloadable
from http://www.BruceEckel.com. This
solution guide is only available electronically, as a PDF document (If it
were in book form, this guide would be over 500 pages, using the same
format as Thinking in Java).
This guide also has additional
(supplemental) exercises which are not in Thinking in Java and for which
solutions are not provided, as additional challenges and to provide exercises
that may be used in teaching situations.
NOTE The 3rd edition of the solution guide also contains (along with
the solutions for Thinking in Java, 3rd edition), the solutions
for the 2nd edition of Thinking in Java.
The 3rd edition of the guide was published at the end of July, 2004.
Chapter 1 has no exercises. The solutions
for Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are freely available (as a sample) as a PDF document and code
here. Please download the sample and ensure
that it works on your system before purchasing the solutions.
The remainder of the solutions are available for a fee of US 20$, only via
VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover and only via the Internet at this URL.
All the exercises in Chapter 2 & 3 have been solved. In the remainder of
the book, only a few exercises have been left to the reader (generally because
the solution involves you performing some configuration on your own machine),
including:
Chapter 4: Exercises 21 & 22
Chapter 5: Exercises 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 & 10
Chapter 9: Exercises 35, 43 & 44
Chapter 13: Exercises 8, 9 & 21
Chapter 15: Exercises 1 & 8
Unpacking the distribution
This guide is distributed as a zip file containing a PDF file and a source-
code tree in the subdirectory labeled code. Please make sure your machine
is equipped to unzip files before purchasing the guide (the zip format is
virtually universal so you can almost always find a free utility for your
platform if it isn't pre-installed; see the next paragraph).
Linux/Unix Users: you must unzip the file using Info-Zip, which can be
found for various platforms here or here. This
tool often comes pre-installed on Linux distributions. When you unzip the
package for Linux/Unix, you must use the -a option to correct for
the difference between DOS and Unix newlines, like this:
unzip -a TIJ3-solutions.zip
In the zip file that you receive upon purchasing this package, you will find
a source-code directory tree that includes all the code listings shown in this
guide, along with ant build.xml files to build all the listings using
the javac compiler from the Sun JDK, available
here.
You can build the listings by hand, one at a time, if you choose. To build
the listings automatically, you must first install Ant, which is
freely downloadable from http://ant.apache.org/. Once you have Antinstalled,
you can move to the code directory and type Ant to build and test the code.
