Hi,
I don't have the book so can not confirm whether this one is a candidate for an errata.
Here is my interpretation of the results:
parseByte(s) - Assuming that the string represents byte value parseByte will return tha byte's value. So the answer will be 20.
parseByte(s, 8) - Here 8 represents the Radix (base of the numbering system). So the value 16 will be represented as 20 in the octal number system.
Byte.valueOf returns returns a new Byte object initialized to that value specified String represents a byte.
b5 won't compile because it returns Byte, not byte. Change this part of the code and you will be able to compile the program.
Hope this helps !!
Regds,
Milind

May be you could get more help there on this topic.
