Conventions

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

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: " If you expand the Classes folder inside pumpkindefenseComponent, you will notice that the actual sources are missing."

A block of code is set as follows:

createTileData:function(){
  this.tileData = [];
  // generate tile data randomly
  for(var i = 0; i < (NUM_COLS * NUM_ROWS); ++i){
    this.tileData[i] = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * MAX_COLOURS);
  }
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

export NDK_ROOT=/Android/android-ndk-r10

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: " By default, you will see a whole lot of packages selected, out of which Android SDK Platform-tools and Android SDK Build-tools are necessary."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
