... ;t make a pilgrimage, but it's not unlikely that I might be passing thru London on the way to somewhere else. [W. Burstein] -------| The Prisoner #001 07/15/85 Topic: Who are the No.2's? What happens to a Number 2 when he is no longer a Number 2? I don't know. At least one was sent home. "Give my regards to the homeland.", says Number 2 to her departing predecessor in "Free for All". Actually, it isn't at all clear that the "Number 2" in the election was really Number 2 at all. My impression was that the woman was No. 2 the whole time, and that the other so-called No. 2 was simply a decoy. I caught the first episode on Cha ...

Old #2s -- it probably depends. It seems like the village may be a testing grounds of sorts, or even a last hurrah. Most of the management seemed marginally effective, after all. [Brad Miller] My feeling is "let the punishment fit the crime." Those #2s who had more grandiose plans that failed, and cost the "company" money and bodies, were shot. Lesser failures were either bumped upstairs, or transferred to another institution. Good torturers are h ...

... ertain programming environments or debuggers may offer an equivalent, but not as part of the language or its core libraries. 1.1 PERFORMANCE In issue #001, we presented a crude benchmark for assessing run time performance: // sort numbers public class bm1 { static final int N = 6500; public static void main(String args[]) { int i; int j; short t; short vec[] = new short[N]; // seed with descending order for (i = 0; i < N; i++) vec[i] = (short)(N - i); // sort into ascending order for (i = 0; i < N - 1; i++) { for (j = i + 1; j < N; j++) { if (vec[i] > vec[j]) { t = vec[i]; vec[i] = vec[j]; vec[j] = t; } } } } } ...

... oing to the bottom of the while loop in preparation for the next iteration of the loop. PERFORMANCE - GARBAGE COLLECTION AND SETTING TO NULL In issue #001 we talked about Java garbage collection, where the runtime system automatically reclaims dynamic storage that is no longer in use. For example: public class test { public void f() { char buf[] = new char[1024]; // stuff that uses buf } } When method f() exits, the space that buf uses is garbage, because only a local variable in an invalid stack frame references it. The runtime system may eventually reclaim the storage. Garbage collection is automatic. But sometimes there are ways to hel ...

INTRODUCTION TO APPLET PROGRAMMING PART 1 - HANDSHAKING PROTOCOLS In newsletter #001 we talked about applets a bit, and presented a simple example of one. A Java applet is not a standalone program but one that executes in a specific context, that of a Web browser. Before we get into the details of applet programming in future issues, it might be worth illustrating some of the handshaking that goes on between an applet and its controlling environment. Normally an applet is executed by a browser, though in the Java Development Kit there's also a tool called "appletviewer" for ...

... input_expr value="1/2/3*4"> </applet> </body> </html> This HTML is similar to that illustrated in newsletter #001, save for the line: <param name=input_expr value="1/2/3*4"> which actually passes in the parameter value. When this applet is executed, the result will be something like: Input = 1/2/3*4 Value = 0.666667 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to Thierry Ciot, Mike Paluka, and Alan Saldanha for help with proofreading.
