OCA/OCP JAVA SE 8 - Possible Wrong answer for review Question of Chapter 8 Question 32

[Felipe Motta]

I don't Know if I'm thinking right...please give me a hand..

On the question 32 - Chapter 8 Handling Exceptions

package zoo;
class BigCat {
void roar(int level) throw RuntimeException { // m1
if(level<3) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Incomplete");
System.out.print("Roar!");
}
}
public class Lion extends BigCat {
public void roar() { // m2
System.out.print("Roar!!!");
}
public static void main(String[] cubs) {
final BigCat kitty = new Lion(); // m3
kitty.roar(2);
}
}

I agree that the answear is:

A. The code does not compile because of line m1.

But on the explanation on Appendix Answers

Also the override of roar() in the Lion class is valid, since the overridden method has a
broader access modifier and does not declare any new or broader checked exceptions.

But roar() was not overridded, but overloaded!

Sorry if I'm missing something!

Thanks

You have added it to the errata under question 30 but it is in fact question 32.
