This portion of the style guide is a Deep Dive Coding-specific extension to the Google Java Style Guide (GJSG).

The GJSG is not reproduced here; instead, only amendments—additional constraints and relaxations or other changes to stated constraints—are listed below. Thus, a Java source file conforms to this style guide if (and only if) it conforms to the GJSG and the amendments stated below—except where the amendments contradict the constraints declared in the GJSG, in which cases the amendments below dictate the rules to be followed.

Numbered links in this section reference corresponding sections of the GJSG.
