In Appendix question answers, referring to Chapter 7, Question 10, for the following code:

System.out.println(Arrays.asList("duck", "chicken", "flamingo", "pelican").parallelStream().parallel() // q1
.reduce(0, (c1, c2) -> c1.length() + c2.length(),
(s1, s2) -> s1 + s2)); // q3

In the answers, answers say: The problem here is that c1 is a String but c2 is an int, so the code fails to combine on line q2, since calling length() on an int is not allowed, and C is correct.

I think it should be the other way round; c1 is an int (in fact an Integer?) and c2 is a String?

Sorry - another one! In the explanation for Question 22, it says:

"If the submit() method had been used instead of execute(), then C would have been the correct answer, as the output of submit( Runnable) task is a Future <? > object which can only return null on its get() method.

Its true that the output of submit(Runnable) task would be null... but in the actual code in the question being referred to, if changing from execute() to submit() method, it would be a submit(Callable):

IntStream.iterate( 0, i -> i   1). limit( 5). forEach( i -> results.add( service.submit(() -> counter    )) // n1

I apologise again for the pedantry but, in some cases, I am learning these rules for the first time and want to make sure my own understanding is correct as much as anything.

#10 is already in the errata. (listed under page 563 where the answer is).

#22 is already in the errata (listed under page 565)

I'd rather have things reported multiple times than not at all though, so thanks for posting.

Thanks Jeanne. I'll try to be more thorough when checking the errata page before posting. Great book, by the way... I'm enjoying it
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
