Don’t spend time preparing for topics that are no longer on the exam!
In a nutshell, the Java 5 exam differs from the 1.4 exam by moving away from bits, and
towards the API. Many 1.4 topics related to operators have been removed from the exam,
so in this chapter you WON’T see
■ bit shifting operators
■ bitwise operators
■ two’s complement
■ divide by zero stuff
It’s not that these aren’t important topics, it’s just that they’re not on the
exam anymore, and we’re really focused on the exam.
