Possible Errata Answers Review Questions Chapter 2 or Chapter 2 Itself (OCP Study Guide Java 11)

[Christiaan Rozema]

Hello,

This topic is about Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 11 Programmer 1 Study Guide (ISBN: 978-1-119-58470-4), by Jeanne Boyarksy and Scott Selikoff.
I found possible errata in the answers of the review question of chapter 2 or chapter 2 itself. On page 53 table 2.3 states that the default initialization value of a long is 0. However, the answer of a review question about this topic (question 8) on page 495 states that the default initialization value is 0L. Should it be 0 or 0L?

Greetings,
Christiaan

I think 0L is more correct. Try here fo known eerrata; I think you are the first person to notice that.

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

While 0L, is technically more correct, the table is intended to show a concept and not distract with types.

[Paul Clapham]

I suppose you could say "zero" instead of "0", I think that would prevent the issue of 0 versus 0L from arising in people's minds.
