ERROR in K&B 1.4 book (print 2005)

[Niranjan Deshpande]

Hi guys, I would like to bring this error to the attention of all javaranchers This error is in Exercise 4-4 solution provided at the end of Chapter 4.

class BadFoodException extends Exception {}
 
class MyException {
public static void main(String [] args) {
try {
checkFood(args[0]);
} catch(BadFoodException e) {
e. printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void checkWord(String s) { 
 
//ERROR1-method name should be �checkFood� and not �checkWord�
//ERROR2-Since it throws exception, it must declare it with a �throws� clause
 
String [] badFoods = {"broccoli","brussel�,sprouts","sardines"};
for(int i=0;i<badFoods.length;++i) {
if (s.equals(badFoods[i]))
throw new BadWFoodException();
}
System.out.println(s + " is ok with me.");
}
}

I don�t know whether they have done it by purpose or it�s a print mistake
Anyway, this code tested by �bug� tracking skills which must be applied first before one dives into the intricacies of the code.
