Day 3: The ABCs of Java

Notes and Corrections

• Page 84: Two of the answers to question 3 are correct. The long and int variable types can both be used to hold numbers from -32,768 to 32,767. There's also a third type, short, that holds exactly this range of numbers, as shown in Table 3.1 on page 64.
