For all those certification aspirants...
I look at SCJP as being certified in at least on OOPS language.

HashTable has been retrofitted to implement the Map interface, so use Hashmap instead of Hashtable

Ameen,
When you assign a literal to a byte, char, short, the compiler does an implicit conversion:
byte b = 23;
Remember, however the literal value should fall in the range of the datatype

This results in an infinite loop. You do not need to initialize b, the code is fine

Hi Anshuman,
Congrats on the 90% in SCJP, Can you give me an overview of how the exam is like. I have taken most of the mock exams on the web
and studied RHE, Exam cram.
My scores look like:
Easy exams 82-86%
Difficult ones 66-70%
How is sun's exam compared with popular mocks on the web and sample exams in the RHE, Exam Cram and Khalid's book
Would appreciate any comments.
Thanks,
Faisal.

Vijay,
The rule is "If two objects are equal, that means if equals method return true, then they have the sam hash code"
