DATE PAGE WHO PROBLEM
-------- --- --- ----------------------------------------------------------
06/21/06 xvii EEO The last word inthe third line should be "Chapter", not "Chap-ter"
09/26/06 024 BLS Line 9 in Figure 1.18 should by cmp.compare not cmp.compareTo
06/01/07 029 KD In Def 2.4, change "all constants c" to "all positive constants c"
11/06/06 036 EEO In rule 3, replace "page 44" with "page 30"
06/21/06 058 EEO The second line in the second paragraph should state that
the first element of the list is A0 (not AN as written)
10/16/07 064 GO In last code fragment, need to return total before ending.
06/21/06 076 EEO Paragraph 5, change "public inner" to "private inner"
06/21/06 077 EEO Line 10 should refer to Figure 3.26, not Figure 3.25.
09/26/06 078 EEO Caption for Fig 3.26 should have MyLinkedList instead of MyList
04/10/06 081 MAW In the remove method, the okToRemove flag should be set
to false instead of true on line 31.
EEO Change line 30 to
MyLinkedList.this.remove( current.prev );
EEO After line 31, add a line:
expectedModCount++;
EEO Caption for Fig 3.32 should have MyLinkedList instead of MyList
10/18/07 081 DS In later printings, line 19 was inadvertantly changed
in an attempt to fix the above error. The flag should
be set to true on line 19, and false on line 31.
06/21/06 080 EEO getNode throws an exception if idx > size(), rather than
idx > size() - 1, but since it is called directly by
get, set, and remove( int idx ), all those routines fail
to throw an exception when the index is size(). The
simplest fix is as follows: change getNode to accept
two additional parameters (lower and upper), to be
used in the test at line 11. Provide a second getNode
with only one parameter, that passes 0 and size() -1.
This will fix get, set, and remove. But it breaks add,
because size() is a valid index for add. Change add
to invoke the three-parameter getNode, with 0, and size()
as the lower and upper bounds. This fix is in the
revised online code.
02/07/06 108 MAW First sentence of Sec 4.2.1, change "tree has at most"
to "tree node has at most"
09/26/06 114 EEO Line 43, replace Figure 4.23 with Figure 4.25
11/06/06 115 EEO Line 5 in Fig. 4.18: replace "@return node containing the
matched item" by "@return true if the item is found, false
otherwise".
02/07/06 123 MAW Next to last line, change .328 to 1.328.
08/01/06 124 PJV Figure 4.30, the far right node at height 7 is missing its left child.
02/07/06 132 MAW Last occurrance, change "rotateWithLeftChild" to
"rotateWithRightChild"
02/07/06 135 MAW In Sec 4.5, paragraph 2, line 2, change "as long at it" to
"as long as it"
02/07/06 147 MAW Item 5, change "L children" to L "data items"
02/07/06 148 MAW Line 9, change "first level could " to "next level could"
06/21/06 148 EEO The last word in the fourth sentence in the third paragraph
should be "item", not "child".
10/16/07 153 GO Four lines from the bottom, change "two characters" to "two words"
02/07/06 165 MAW In Exercise 4.51 change "in a binary search tree" to
"in an N node binary search tree" (with N italicized)
09/26/06 175 EEO In line 37 of Figure 5.9, replace "theSize" with "currentSize"
11/06/06 207 EEO The caption for Fig. 6.8 should read "Procedure to insert
into a binary heap" instead of "Procedures to insert into
a binary heap".
09/26/06 257 HK In heapsort, the loop at line 7 can start at a.size( ) / 2 - 1.
02/08/06 286 MAW In Exercise 7.10, change "line 2" to "line 11" in two places.
06/21/06 300 EEO In the second line from the bottom of the page, "tree" should
be replaced by "forest".
11/06/06 356 EEO Figure 9.58: replace "//Edge e = (u.v)" by "//Edge e = (u,v)".
06/01/07 356 EEO In Figure 9.58, line 4, replace DisjSet with DisjSets
07/11/06 ??? MAW At the end of Chapter 9, in the references, add the
following as the best deterministic minimum spanning tree algorithm:
Bernard Chazelle: A minimum spanning tree algorithm with
Inverse-Ackermann type complexity. J. ACM 47(6): 1028-1047 (2000)
02/08/06 459 MAW Somehow in the typesetting, Exercise 10.58(a) was made into
10.59, Exercise 10.58 should have a, b, c, and then what is
typeset as Exercise 10.60, should be 10.59 and subsequent
exercises renumbered.
