The first issue of the Quiz of the week category involved the writing of a method that could throw a checked exception without declaring it in the throws clause. Here are the 3 solutions to this problem. Read the rest of this entry »

I started this category because I like to solve problems, of any type, especially if they are related to the languages and the tools that I am using on a daily basis. This type of posts is not something new, of course. You can find probably hundreds of sites and blogs that are doing pretty much the same thing. A simple search on google reveals this, but you could find some other sites for sure.

The problems that I will post here are not completely invented by me. Most of them are actually found in other books, on the internet, in the language specs (such as JLS), in the APIs, in the code that I am working on every day. Some of them (albeit only a few) are actually invented by me, but I don’t exclude the possibility that they are already posted somewhere else. Anyway, the source of the problem is irrelevant.

The answer(s) to each problem will be posted in the next question, next week.

Since I am posting these problems, I would also love to get comments with possible solutions, ideas for improving the problem or just general remarks about the discussed problem. So feel free to join the club, and solve the issues

Here is the first issue of this series. Read the rest of this entry »
