23.2.1 How to use Java documentation

In order to explore the extensive world of Java, we would like to introduce the on-line Java Documentation. Not only does JavaDoc serve as a reference to all native Java components, objects, and functionality, but it also neatly reveals the class hierarchy of these components and objects, so that we may learn about an object's inheritance and polymorphism.

23.2.2 How Javadoc can help in figuring out the relationships between objects

[Discuss several examples in which we are trying to retrieve something from an object that is not an inherent property though. Navigate through the object's methods and their corresponding types, in order to achieve our goal.]
