2:  public class UseTreeSet {
3:     static class Rabbit{ int id; }
4:     public static void main(String[] args) {
5:        Set<Duck> ducks = new TreeSet<>();
6:        ducks.add(new Duck("Puddles"));
7:
8:        Set<Rabbit> rabbits = new TreeSet<>();
9:        rabbits.add(new Rabbit());  // ClassCastException
10: } }
Line 6 is fine. Duck does implement Comparable. TreeSet is able to sort it into the proper position in the set. Line 9 is a problem. When TreeSet tries to sort it, Java discovers the fact that Rabbit does not implement Comparable. Java throws an exception that looks like this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
  class Duck cannot be cast to class java.lang.Comparable

class Duck cannot be cast to class java.lang.Comparable -----

Welcome to the Ranch
I presume that is the book by Boyarsky and Selikoff? Please look here, where I can't find what you showed. Pleas wait for Jeanne to see this thread; it would appear you have found a new erratum.

[Vladimir Prud]

Hello, yes, this is a book by Scott Selikoff and Jeanne Boyarsky,
but the title of OCP Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 11 Programmer II Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-816 and Exam 1Z0-817
I bought it at https://www.wiley.com



I am reading a book on vitalsource, perhaps the page numbers are not quite correct there. an example is located in chapter 3, just above the topic "Working with Generics"

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

It's on page 147 in the printed book, so pretty close.

Definitely should be Rabbit, not Duck. I've added it to the errata. Quack!

Hello,I found another typo, 436 page,8 chapter

Manipulating Input Streams
All input stream classes include the following methods to manipulate the order in which data is read from a stream:

// InputStream and Reader
public boolean markSupported()
public void void mark(int readLimit)

public void reset() throws IOException

public long skip(long n) throws IOException

[Campbell Ritchie]

I presume you have checked the errata because that does look like an error. You can't usually use the same keyword twice.

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

Confirmed and added to the errata. Thanks for noticing!
