The genuine path separator in Windows is \ as opposed to / which might or might not work.

Remember to write is as "\\" inside a string literal signs.

Well, maybe not forcibly *all* encryption would be broken by *any* quantum computation.

This is very fishy:



Try something like this instead: - also note the capitalization (or the lack thereof):

You have the string stringToConvert, encode it into a sequence of bytes using the UTF-8 encoding, then create a string from this sequence assuming it is a sequence of bytes using the platform's default charset. Don't we smell some fish around here?

The try-with-resources construct is useful for resource management.

By the way constructors and destructors are useful, even though you could argue against them saying "there are design principles for proper initialization and deinitialization".

And Linux tries to support NTFS, despite the fact that Microsoft hasn't always been transparent about how it works.



I saw on some Microsoft programming forums discussions on NTFS which were based on the Linux NTFS driver: it happened to be the available source for information.

Campbell Ritchie wrote:But what is going to happen if you return null and try to use it? If you do more than simply print it out, you are risking an Exception.



Well, if you return something only seemingly useful, then you risk using that non-sensical value and this might be even worse than having an indication that something went wrong via the NPException.

If you search for something then in some way or other you have to cope with the case when it is not found: let it be through examinig for null, for a nonsensical sentintel value, a return code, whatnot.

It was a Bull DPSx where x=8 or so... It was int, long, maybe even long long ago :-)
I programmed it in Fortran and I accidentally came across the bytes' bit width: it did not really matter on this level.
