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..

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.
