Errata for OCP: Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 8 Programmer II Study Guide -page 136 (Sybex)

[erdem topdas]

I think  the add and offer method's descriptions should be same for ArrayDequeue  in the table 3.5 ?

Because both of two methods invoke the addLast(e) method. And also offer method can throw an exception..

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

Erdem,
I've added the fact that offer can throw an exception to the errata. Thanks for noticing that.

[Juerg Bauman]

I disagree with that one, since method offer(e) doesn't throw an exception --> see API Doc: Interface Queue<E>
Summary of Queue methods:
               Throws exception    Returns special value
Insert      add(e)                    offer(e)
Remove   remove()                poll()
Examine  element()               peek()

Furthermore add(e) invokes addLast(e), while offer(e) invokes offerLast(e).

I don't know what I was thinking when I logged the errata. As you noted the JavaDoc clearly says that. Removed the errata.

Hello Jeanne. I was just about to create a topic about this.
I believe the errata wasn't removed yet, right?

I apparently had some "press save after making change" troubles. Now it is really removed from the list.
