Errata

As errors are discovered in the text, we record them in a database which can be accessed by the links in the table below. As new printings of the textbook are run, we correct as many of the known errors as possible. Therefore, the errors that exist in one copy of the book (from one printing) may not exist in another copy (from another printing).

Printing When Run
First July 2002

The third edition of Java Software Solutions is now in its first printing. You may want to consult the Publishing FAQ, which further explains issues related to editions and printings.

We have assigned a subjective severity level to each error, as follows:

High A major flaw. Something that results in a program not working or that leads to a misunderstanding about a fundamental concept.
Medium A situation in which something is mistated or confusing, but nothing that truly misinforms
Low A minor issue that is essentially inconsequential, but noted for complete accuracy. Includes formatting problems, spelling, grammar, etc.

The errata lists can be sorted in various ways by clicking on the column headings. For example, you may want to sort by the date recorded so that you can quickly see if any errors have been recorded since you last checked the list.

Our thanks to all of you who have found and reported errors. Please send email to John Lewis to let us know about any others.
