OCP Java SE 11 Programmer II Study Guide, Errata

Hi there,

I would say that the fourth line of the output should look like this:

Enter a password between 5 and 10 characters:

instead of

Enter a password between 5 and 10 digits:

because the code looks like this:

char[] password = console.readPassword("Enter a password "
   + "between %d and %d characters: ", 5, 10);

Welcome to the Ranch

Maybe the code sample requires the password be in the form of a number.
By the way: Do you know under which circumstances that sort of code can fail with an exception?

[Daniel Polách]

Well, the code sample still states characters instead of digits. ;-)

Can it fail when the stream for a console is closed? :-)

[Campbell Ritchie]

Try it on your IDE and see what happens.

Ooh. Good catch. I've added this to the errata.

Yes, the output of code should match the string the code prints .
