ERRATA for Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide Exam 1Z0-808

Hi, everybody!!!
At page 237. The paragraph bellow the note says that the default package private modifier allows access to a subclass, but it doesn't. Default package private modifier only grant access to classes within the same package to access it.
Best regards.

Willyan,
Welcome to CodeRanch!

Thanks for pointing that out! You are right. That is the definition of protected, not default access. I've logged it and given you credit in the errata

This (ambiguous) statement was already discussed a few months ago. And luckily for you the authors didn't consider it an errata item back then, otherwise you would not have got the credit for spotting this errata item and your name was not shining on the official errata overview

Kind regards,
Roel

At that point, I said " I'm not sold on it being an errata yet. ". Now I am. It's too ambiguous to be clear.
