This file contains a list of corrections to the Interactive
Programming beta edition distributed by Morgan Kaufmann as PDF files
in the fall of 1999. Some of these corrections have been incorporated
into the html available on the MIT site.
We're sure there are more. Please email additional corrections to
ipij@ai.mit.edu.
General Issues
Several programming examples are poorly formatted in the pdf. Line
wrapping makes some of the code difficult to read or even changes the
scoping of comments. Underlining and spacing interact badly.
Chapter 1: Introduction to Program Design
- Page 1-6 Section 1.3
- Change "What kinds of things to" to "What kinds of things
do"
Page 1-11 Section 1.5.1 Footnote 3
- "can handle is called" to "can handle at any one time is
called"
-
Interlude: A Community of Interacting Entities
- Page I1-12, sidebar on strings:
- substring (beginIndex,endIndex) ends at endIndex-1, not at
endIndex. So
"Hello".substring(1,4) , not (1,
3), is "ell".
Page I1-15 Section 1.3.4 last paragraph
- Change "Thisk" to "This"
- Page I1-18, Section 1.3.5
- The class NameDropper is badly formatted and the definition of
transform is incorrect. It should read:
class NameDropper extends StringTransformer
{
String name; // the persistent storage,
// a permanent part of each NameDropper
NameDropper( whatMyNameShouldBe )
{ // the creation rule
this.name = whatMyNameShouldBe;
}
String transform ( String whatToSay )
{ // the transform rule
return this.name + " says " + whatToSay;
}
}
Chapter 3: Things, Types, and Names
- Page 3-14
- line 8 change: "while Console.print does." to "while
Console.println does."
Chapter 4: Specifying Behavior: Interfaces
- Page 4-12 Section 4.3.1
- Change: COunting to Counting
Chapter 5: Expressions: Doing Things With Things
- Page 5-5:
- substring (beginIndex,endIndex) only cuts to endIndex-1, not
to endIndex, so you can extract the word "REND" using
"serendipitous".toUpperCase().substring(2,6),
not (2,5).
Chapter 6: Statements and Rules
Chapter 7: Classes and Objects
Chapter 8: Designing with Objects
- Page 8-4 Section 8.1.3
- Change "int field0" to "int field"
Page 8-11 Section 8.2
- Change "objects to a lot of different" to "objects do a lot
of different"
Page 8-22 Section 8.3.3
- Change "setTIme()" to "setTime()"
Page 8-24 Exercise 2
- Change "What doe s its" to "What does its"
Chapter 9: Animate Objects
Chapter 10: Reusing Implementation: Inheritance
Chapter 11: When Things Go Wrong: Exceptions
Chapter 12: Dealing with Difference: Dispatch
Chapter 13: Encapsulation
Chapter 14: Intelligent Objects and Implicit Dispatch
Chapter 15: Event-Driven Programming
Chapter 16: Event Delegation (and AWT)
Chapter 19: Communication Patterns
