At page 427 of the SCJP Study Guide (1.4) by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates, one can read about LinkedHashSet the following:
LinkedHashSet lets you iterate through the elements in the order in which they were inserted. Optionally, you can construct a LinkedHashSet so that it maintains the order in which elements were last accessed, rather than the order in which elements were inserted.
What are the constructors/methods that let you construct a LinkedHashSet "so that it maintains the order in which elements were last accessed"?, cause I could not find anything in the API. All the API says is:
This linked list defines the iteration ordering, which is the order in which elements were inserted into the set insertion-order).
Its constructors are: LinkedHashSet() - Constructs a new, empty linked hash set with the default initial capacity (16) and load factor (0.75). LinkedHashSet(Collection c) - Constructs a new linked hash set with the same elements as the specified collection. LinkedHashSet(int initialCapacity) - Constructs a new, empty linked hash set with the specified initial capacity and the default load factor (0.75). LinkedHashSet(int initialCapacity, float loadFactor) - Constructs a new, empty linked hash set with the specified initial capacity and load factor. I see nothing like LinkedHashMap's contructor that lets you construct the map so that is order by access: LinkedHashMap(int initialCapacity, float loadFactor, boolean accessOrder) - Constructs an empty LinkedHashMap instance with the specified initial capacity, load factor and ordering mode.

Hey John - Somehow you got a hold of a REALLY old copy of the book, because that's an errata we fixed a long time ago. If you just got this book I'd go back to the bookstore and ask for a newer printing - this one should have dust-binned over a year ago hth, Bert

Hi Bert, yeah, I have the oldest book, in fact, it's THE first copy printed But I've searched the errata (http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/downloads/products/0072226846/0072226846_errata.txt) last updated March 3 2003, and couldn't find anything. Is there another newer errata somewhere ?

Hey John, I dug up an additional errata document that didn't make it on the Osborne page - sorry! As a temporary kludge I added it to the wickedlysmart site - I'm making a new thread called "Additional errata for the old K&B" with a link to these additional errata. Thanks for bringing this up! Bert
