m > n and 6 < 7

[Christian Dadulla]

Hi guys,
Additional question for page 339, Chapter 2-Review Question explanation #19:
2nd to the last sentence says:
....m > n evaluates to false, as 6 < 7 is not true.

I am thinking, it should be: 6 > 7 is not true.
Can someone enlighten?  Thanks.

Since this is an unrelated topic, you should have created a new thread. Never mind, I can break the thread for you.
Yes, 6 < 7 does look peculiar, but I would need to see the whole question to be sure about your erratum. Please check the known errata here; I couldn't find your error.

[Christian Dadulla]

Correct, It is not on the errata page.  I am reading a paperback copy ISBN:978-1118957400 copyright(2015). I was wondering if it's already corrected/reported somewhere..

[Campbell Ritchie]

That link is the one place where it will be reported, so if it isn' on that link it hasn't been reported. I don't have a copy of the book, so I know no more than I did earlier.

Added to the errata. Have a cow for noticing this error. And being a thorough reader!

[Christian Dadulla]

Thanks!
Not sure if this is a new one? Page 149, Working with Dates and Times:
The topmost code snippets, last line of code is missing a comment:
//UnsupportedTemporalTypeException

... it will be like this:
System.out.println(time.format(shortDateTime));//UnsupportedTemporalTypeException

[Campbell Ritchie]

Don't know. It isn't in the errata page I linked earlier. Please explain why you think the comment about the exception should be included in the code.

No, this is intentional. We mention in the text that precedes that code that it behaves the same way and omit all the comments about printlns and exceptions. The idea is to call attention to the parameter vs object in the second example rather than repeat the same comments.
