1) Extra comment
Code:



It seems to me (after running this piece of code on my machine) that there's an extra comment ("//") here.



2) The output in the book doesn't match with the output on my machine:

In the book:
"class. java.util.HashMap"
and
"class. java.util.TreeMap"

On my machine:
"class java.util.HashMap"
and
"class java.util.TreeMap"

P.S.: All the text is from the Amazon Kindle version of the book.
My JDK is v.1.8.0_91 from Oracle

Tim,
1) True. It still compiles though . I've added it to our private list. While it certainly isn't what we intended, it's not an errata per se
2) Added the typo/stray character to the errata list.

Thanks.

It looks like a typo:

"The most common functional interfaces are Supplier, Consumer, Function, and Predicate. There are also binary versions and primitive versions of many of these methods."

It seems to me that the author meant "interfaces" rather than "methods".

Page 230, review question #14 - explanation

The explanation says: "(...) Line 7 is where it all falls apart. Converting from a double to an int would require a cast inside the lambda."

After testing this piece of code on my machine it seems to me that for this line to compile one also needs to change "mapToInt" to "mapToObj".

It's both the methods and interfaces that have binary/primitive versions. A FunctionalInterface is kind of a "function" of the single abstract method in it. It would have probably been clearer to say interfaces or interfaces/methods though. So yes, you are correct.

You are correct. That would be a secondary error. After casting, you would then need another change.

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that this comment shouldn't be here.
Page 250:

Correct if I'm wrong please. As far as I know you make such a comment in the code only when it outputs something.

It's intentional. The comment is there to show what the variable represents to make it easier to follow the code.

Hi.On page 239.İn the "Finding a Time Zone" frame.At the end tab.
"Try the country name or city name. Or you can print
everything and look though that."

it should be as below

"Try the country name or city name. Or you can print
everything and look through that"

Agreed. Thank you for noticing the one character error.

Fixed. I hand edit the HTML On the page because wordpress table editing "leaves something to be desired". I had entered both the URL of this thread and your name in that cell. I must have had a misplaced HTML tag which it cleaned up on save.

I saw that it has been noted already that DateTimeException is not a checked exception in the chapter 6 and it's recommended to "Pretend it is for the purposes of this chapter as the examples misuse it."
But my message is about DateTimeParseException in the "Exam Essentials".

Page 314:

DateTimeParseException, IOException, and SQLException are common checked exceptions.



DateTimeParseException is an unchecked exception.

Hi Jeanne!

It seems I've found some more errata

page 347 in 2 pieces of code:

and


It seems to me that in both cases there should be MINUTES because TimeUnit class doesn't have the 'MINUTE' constant (Sorry for using 'should', it's a really convenient word...)

Agreed and logged. Interestingly we got it right on the previous page!

ps - it is ok to say "should". I think that underline is there to raise awareness of incorrect use of the word.

Page 370:

Many common streams including map(), forEach(), and filter() can be processed independently, although order is never guaranteed.



It seems to me that "many common stream operations" would fit better, wouldn't it?

Pages 410-411

Output of main method in ReadFileInformation class:

When path points to a valid file:


and

when path points to a valid directory:


It seems that these two lines should be swapped to be consistent with the code.

It seems I found a problem on this page: https://www.selikoff.net/java-ocp-8-programmer-ii-study-guide/

There's a row between pages 442 and 456 and the value in the column "Page" is the following:

various/td>

Thanks. Fixed. As you can "see", I edit that page in raw HTML.

I suspect that this is a nitpicking, but hope that at least it's worth of adding to your private list:
Page 483:

(...) to verify that is has been updated.


to verify that IT has been updated.

Thanks Tim. Added to the public errata list. It's legitimately wrong so errata. (Granted minor typo/grammar, but still wrong.) The things on our private list are things that "aren't quite wrong, but could be clearer".

Stack trace says:
