Java Basics

Commentary: Missing from Methods chapter

Essential to add

• Instance methods -- Add to OOP section.

Should be covered, but they're low on the queue

• Recursion -- Fits naturally with trees, binary search.
• @Override -- Useful to prevent confusing errors.
• abstract -- Maybe it should be covered with inheritance or interfaces.
• final parameters -- Nice to prevent erroneous assignments. Necessary if parameter is referenced by inner class, but that is perhaps a little advanced.

Unimportant

• synchronized -- Covered if there ever is a section on threads.
• strictfp -- Does anyone use this?
• native -- Won't be covered by me.
