For example, following are some lines from Listing 5-4 in Chapter 5:

public class GiraphHelloWorld extends                                    #2   BasicComputation<IntWritable, IntWritable,                    NullWritable, NullWritable> {  @Override  public void compute(Vertex<IntWritable,                                #3                      IntWritable, NullWritable> vertex,                  Iterable<NullWritable> messages) {

Look at that listing, ...
