I chose these categories because they relate to a wide range of programmers (I purposely avoided specialized topics that apply to only a narrow subset of cases) Each of the categories became the basis for a chapter In addition to the recipes related to the foregoing topics, I had several others that I wanted to include but for which an entire chapter was not feasible I grouped those recipes into the final chapter Of course, choosing the topics was only the beginning of the selection process Within each category, I had to decide what to include and what not to include In general, I included a recipe if it met the following two criteria 1 The technique is useful to a wide range of programmers 2 It provides an answer to a frequently asked programming question The first criterion is largely self-explanatory and is based on my experience I included recipes that describe how to accomplish a set of tasks that would commonly be encountered when creating Java applications Some of the recipes illustrate a general concept that can be adapted to solve several different types of problems For example, 2 shows a recipe that uses the Regular Expression API to search for and extract substrings from a string This general procedure is useful in several contexts, such as finding an e-mail address or a telephone number within a sentence, or extracting a keyword from a database query Other recipes describe more specific, yet widely used techniques For example, 4 shows how to format the time and date by using SimpleDateFormat The second criterion is based on my experience as the author of programming books Over the many years that I have been writing, I have been asked hundreds and hundreds of how to questions by readers These questions come from all areas of Java programming and range from the very easy to the quite difficult I have found, however, that a central core of questions occurs again and again Here is one example: How do I format output Here is another: How do I compress a file There are many others These same types of questions also occur frequently on various programmer forums on the Web I used these commonly asked how to questions to guide my selection of recipes The recipes in this book span various skill levels Some illustrate basic techniques, such as reading bytes from a file or creating a Swing JTable Others are more advanced, such as creating a servlet or using reflection to instantiate an object at runtime Thus, the level of difficulty of an individual recipe can range from relatively easy to significantly advanced Of course, most things in programming are easy once you know how to do them, but difficult when you don t Therefore, don t be surprised if some recipe seems obvious It just means that you already know how to accomplish that task.

To ignore case differences when sorting an array of strings involves these three steps: 1 Create a Comparator that ignores the case differences between two strings 2 Create an object of that Comparator

3 Pass both the array to be sorted and the Comparator to the comparator version of javautilArrayssort( ) When sort( ) returns, the array will be sorted without regard to case differences
