Java by Comparison: List of typos in Book version P1.0 March 2018
Here is a list of probable typographic and editing errors.
- p. 3, “to discuss, if it’s better” -> “to discuss if it’s better”
- p. 8, “Brackets” (twice) -> “Parentheses”. I beg the indulgence of en-UK speakers, but in en-US and in the Java Spec, “brackets” refers to square brackets or angle brackets and not to parentheses; note also this entry in the index, p. 167: “[] (brackets), Booleans, 8”
- p. 25, the third change arrow in the margin of the snippet should be removed, as the line is unchanged from that on p. 24
- pp. 30-31, “1.60934;” -> “1.609344;”
- p. 33, “on page 48 so that” -> “on page 48, so that”
- p. 49, “(Trailing whitespaces)” -> “(Leading and trailing whitespace)”
- p. 52, “both–a” -> “both a”
- p. 53, “is clearly standing” -> “clearly stands”
- p. 53, “The following description” -> “The subsequent description”, or “The description that follows the summary sentence”
- p. 54, “when you pass null”, the “null” is in the wrong font, see page 6 for a precedent of using the inline code font for null
- p. 61, “the name … already scream out” -> “the name already screams out”
- p. 62. “JavaBeans and yes” -> “JavaBeans, and yes”
- p. 71, “lastname” -> “lastName”
- pp. 74-75, “1079252850” -> “1079252848.8” – hey, it’s rocket science, OK!
- p. 81, add a change arrow to the snippet line “rawId, rawMessage), e);”
- pp. 105, 111, “unicode” -> “Unicode”
- p. 115, “You can even give” -> “You should give”
- p. 116, “If you insert null instead” -> “If you pass in null instead”, because the topic is an input parameter and unrelated to a list operation
- p. 139, “on page 136 and many” -> “on page 136, and many”
- p. 149, “In the last chapter” -> “In this chapter”
- p. 149, “outlook” -> “overview”

Thanks. We’ll take this into account if there’s a editing round sometime in the future.
