Jason's (abeit sarcastic) remark about the portability of java got me thinking:although I had my share of problems writing the code for the assignment, I never once had any memory problems.
Now, either my code is(was) just somehow more efficient (not likely, given my programming habits :)), or there are differences in the jvms ...
That latter point raises an interesting question about portability ...
(For what it is worth, I'm using the Apple jvm on MacOS X) |
