Option C looks wrong at first glance. What did you see the second time?

Michael Goshey wrote:Chapter 10, page 564, bottom of page under the bold heading "getSum()": the explanation mentions DoubleSummaryStream, IntSummaryStream and LongSummaryStream, which presumably should be DoubleSummaryStatistics, IntSummaryStatistics and LongSummaryStatistics respectively.

I agree that should be changed next time. It was pointed out here

My response was

Thanks for the comment. We meant the type of the stream the summary statistics object came from. So it's not quite an errata. I do see how it could be clearer though so I put it on our private list of things to consider for the next version of the book.

Now that a second person said it, I lean more towards changing it!

Thanks for sharing. It makes sense that you can't use executeQuery() as there isn't tabular data returned. I'll make a note to see if we want to add it next time.

Ooh good observation. I've added this to the errata and credited you.

Yes. We learned after writing the book than the online engine makes it a radio button when there is only one option and therefore you can't have "choose all that apply" questions with one answer. We wrote a static analysis rule for that so the problem doesn't appear in the Java 11 or 17 versions.

Mike Simmons wrote:OK, you're right.  I thought they were calling everything using the "->" syntax a switch expression, but they are not.  Thanks!

We might have been when writing the chapter as well. I made a note to check for next time.

"legal" means following the rules to me. If you include more instance variables  in hashcode than equals, you run the risk of getting different hashcode values when equals would return true.
