Sybex 816, Chapter 8, page 454 errata

[Matus Iglarcik]

Chapter 8, page 454, there is:

// PrintStream
public PrintStream format(String format, Object args...)
public PrintStream format(Locale loc, String format, Object args...)

// PrintWriter
public PrintWriter format(String format, Object args...)
public PrintWriter format(Locale loc, String format, Object args...)

it should be:

// PrintStream
public PrintStream format(String format, Object... args)
public PrintStream format(Locale loc, String format, Object... args)

// PrintWriter
public PrintWriter format(String format, Object... args)
public PrintWriter format(Locale loc, String format, Object... args)

Object args... -> Object... args

I think you are correct; the JLS shows the ellipsis before the parameter name.

[Mikalai Zaikin]

The funny thing that "old school' syntax allows square brackets after type

void xyz(String[] abc)

after variable

void xyz(String abc[])

or after both (it will be 2 dimension array in that case)

void xyz(String[] abc[])

[Campbell Ritchie]

That is what come from copying your syntax from C/C++.

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

Correct. The ... needs to be before the parameter name. Added to errata
