Hi,
I'm going thru Kathy Sierra book for SCJP5.
I found some mistakes in the book for example in chapter3
in the section where they speak about Boxing,==, and equals.
I tried the example given in this section and the output given
in the book is completely wrong.
Even in the self review questions the answer choice is different and the explanation gives a different answer.
Can anyone tell be what do I do, should I follow this book or there is an errata which has the corrections.
Please help ....
Regards,
Sharath

Hi Sharath,

The best thing to do, with our book, or any other source you're using, is to copy and paste exactly what you're doing (and use the ubb code tags). Some people have found errors, and if that's the case we want to know what they are. A lot of times candidates think they've found errors in the book or in someone's mock exam and actually it's not an error. So, the only way we can help is if you show us exactly what's going on.

Thanks,

Bert
