This is from comprehensive exam 10:

Question 17
Which of the class instance creation expressions would produce a run-time error?
a. Long.parseLong("1")
b. Long.parseLong("1L")
c. Long.parseLong("010")
d. Long.parseLong("0x10")
e. Long.parseLong("1.0")

There are no class instance creation expressions in this question. If it were valueOf(String str), then probably yes.

I agree that no instance creation can be inferred from reading the API for Long.parseLong

SCJP2. Please Indent your code using UBB Code

I even looked at the code and there is no instance creation except for instantiation of a NumberFormatException if the String contains non-numeric data.

You are correct. They are obviously method invocation expressions. If you see any more of those types of errors, the please let me know.
