I have a lot of things to say about this one piece of code. It illustrates so many wonderful things, I can’t even begin to tell you all about them. Part of the reason I can’t go into it is because I’m actually in the middle of teaching a class (we’re working in teams on some problems), and I don’t have time for a full post. The other reason is there are some relatively big ideas here (not new, but relatively big) that I want to spend time on.
So, for future reference:
int largestValue() {
Iterator it = ls. iterator();
int temp = 0
while (it hasNext()) {
Integer intTmp =(Integer) it.next:
int num = intTmp. intValue ();
if(num >temp); temp = num;{
return temp;
}
}

Ah. It’s sooooo good!
For what it’s worth, this bit of code will be MUCH shorter in Java 1.5, thanks to automatic boxing/unboxing of primitives, generic types, and an enhance for loop.
I like that it’s pink. But have you considered using a proportional or sans serif font? I think it would be just adorable in a nice Arial Condensed.
Hold on, let me see if I can do this in Matlab:
b = max(a)
