Hi,
another q from anilbachi's site on Language Fundamentals:
Q19: The term deprecated refers to the classes and methods that are not safe to use
a]. true
b]. false
Answer given is a (true).
My question is - is it correct to say that these classes and methods are not safe? They give correct results, don't they?
Thnx.

Dinesh,
using the term 'not safe', referes actually to the fact that the method may net be there anymore in the next release of that api.
However they _should_ produce a correct output.
