I agree that is it confusing.
Take the following
SCJA exam objective:
Develop code that uses primitives, enumeration types, and object references, and recognize literals of these types.
Describe, compare, and contrast these three fundamental types of statements: assignment, conditional, and iteration,
That's pretty vague, and potentially, very encompassing.
I left out autoboxing in the first printing of my SCJA Certification Study Guide, but got a barrage of people that said they saw the following on the exam:
So, that would work in 1.5, but not 1.4.2. Correspondingly, I have since added updated information on autoboxing in the cert guide.
Thank goodness for small print runs.
Cheers!
