| Per the [style guide][style-guide], `TYPE_USE` annotations should appear |
| immediately before the type being annotated, and after any modifiers: |
| |
| ```java |
| public <K, V> @Nullable V getOrNull(final Map<K, V> map, final @Nullable K key) { |
| return map.get(key); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| Non-`TYPE_USE` annotations should appear before modifiers, as they annotate the |
| entire element (method, variable, class): |
| |
| ```java |
| @VisibleForTesting |
| public void reset() { |
| // ... |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| Javadoc must appear before any annotations, or the compiler will fail to |
| recognise it as Javadoc: |
| |
| ```java |
| @Nullable |
| /** Might return a frobnicator. */ |
| Frobnicator getFrobnicator(); |
| ``` |
