In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "The MouseAdapter is the interface which is used by the triggered event when a mouse is clicked."

A block of code is set as follows:

String firstName;
String lastName;
String maritialStatus;
int id;
int accountNumber;

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

jButton1.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
jButton1MouseClicked(evt);
}
});

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Leave all the other options marked and click Finish".
