Errata for the Second Printing (first edition) - Java Tutorial 5.0 英文版

Errata for the Second Printing (first edition)

The following errors have been fixed in the second printing of The Java Tutorial. The third printing is identical to the second printing.

• A few copies of the book start on page 15. If your copy has this problem, please return to where you purchased the book and ask them to exchange it for a good copy.
• On page 13, in the section Create a Java Source File, the filename HelloWorld should be HelloWorld.java.
• The Date class does not deal with years that are greater than 1970. So the code sample at bottom of page 80 should read:

  Date myBirthday = new Date(1996, 8, 30);
  

• In the Pass-by-Value section on page 100 the first line in the first paragraph should read arguments are passed by value.
• The table on page 106 has an error. The check mark in the package/subclass box should be in the package/package box.
• On page 110, in the section called Public, the class Alpha should be declared public. Like this:

  package Greek;
  
  public class Alpha {
      public int iampublic;
      public void publicMethod() {
          System.out.println("publicMethod");
      }
  }
  

• The code sample at top of page 117 has two errors:
  1. the line int i; should be removed.
  2. the for loop should read:

     for (int i = 0; i <= numImages; i++) {
     

  Thus the code sample should read:

  class AnimationThread extends Thread {
      int framesPerSecond;
      int numImages;
      Image[] images;
  
      AnimationThread(int fps, int num) {
  
          super("AnimationThread");
          this.framesPerSecond = fps;
          this.numImages = num;
  
          this.images = new Image[numImages];
          for (int i = 0; i <= numImages; i++) {
              . . .
              // Load all the images.
              . . .
          }
      } 
  }
  

• The second bullet in the bulleted list at the top of page 121 should read is in the same package as the superclass.
• The line String input; should be deleted from the code sample at bottom of page 333.
• On page 548, in the last paragraph of the Platform Specific Details section, the filename Hello-World.stubs should be HelloWorld.stubs.
• The back of the book contains four pages that describe the CD-ROM. These pages consistently misspell the product name HotJava; HotJava is one word not two.
• On the fourth Page of the CD-ROM pages, the Known Bugs section contains a typo. Note that this is reason should read Note that this is the reason.
