The aim method results in an infinite loop/stack overflow, note that ball is an exception of type Ball. This results in a logical flow of aim, "throw," "catch," repeat, though this is only logical by word choice, and is nonsensical from a programming perspective.

Pretty sure the code is also intentionally hard to follow. -- ‎108.48.215.61 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)


The try/catch parts are just for show, they cancel each other out. The structure is that you have a parent and a child instance (of class P), each has a 'target' pointed to the other. Then calling aim with a ball will call the others aim with the ball, which will call the firsts aim with the ball. Etc etc.

I guess after about a 1000 aims the jvm will throw you out, stating stack overflow, and the bonding game is over. -- 212.214.117.162 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
