Unpuzzling Java Puzzlers with IntelliJ IDEA
Abstract
JetBrains has built the most intelligent Java IDE around, but how smart is it, really?
Smart enough to solve some Java Puzzlers?
In this fun quickie, we will put IntelliJ IDEA's automatic code inspections to the test with examples from the excellent book, "Java Puzzlers", by Joshua Bloch and Neal Gafter. Some of these puzzlers are trickier to solve than you might expect. How many can you solve?
