Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to read (i.e., how to translate from geek speak to English) the overwhelming and detailed
Java API as I'm learning how to code. Regarding this method I copied from the API:
static
String showInputDialog(Object message)
Shows a question-message dialog requesting input from the user.
In "English", this method is a class static method that returns a String type and the method's argument is the class's field message? So how does "Object" come into play here? I understand Object is the root class (of all classes) but I don't understand its relationship to "message" because isn't message a field for J.OptionPane class?
