(result.equals("hit")) { break; } if (result.equals("kill")) {
dotComsList.remove(dotComToTest); } } When the program is run under JRE
1.5.0_04, the loop throws a ConcurrentModificationException after the
"dotComsList.remove(dotComToTest);" statement is executed. According to
what I've been able to find, when using an ArrayList iterator (as the for-each
loop does), it is only legal to modify the ArrayList by using the iterator's own
remove or add methods (From the JavaDoc for
ConcurrentModificationException: "if a thread modifies a collection directly

while it is iterating over the collection with a fail-fast iterator, the iterator will
throw this exception.") In order to avoid the exception the example code
should use a standard for loop.

Something is strange here. In this text, it says that after foo() pops off the

think that making the change "foo()" -> "main()" would solve the problem (if the
reader assumes that "..." in "But foo() doesn't have a try/catch, so..." means
that more text describing the process was omitted because the reader already
knows what happens), but I would prefer that more text is added to make
things clear.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Change the beginning of the description under the "main()" graphic to read:
foo() pops off the stack and the exception is thrown back to main(). But main()
doesn't have a try/catch so the exception is thrown back to... Editor note: From

I'm confirming that "balance++" is not atomic, and here's why: the
corresponding assembly langugage (which is what is being run) is not.
Pegagogically, though, it may be helpful to represent this as 2 statements. But
if you do, I suggest a note explaining that the ++ operator is not atomic.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Several changes to this page: 1 - Add a handwritten annotation, pointing to the
step line of code: balance = i + 1; The annotation should read: probably not an
atomic process 2 - Replace the two paragraphs after the above line of code
with the following: Note: Even if we used the more common syntax:
balance++; there is no guarantee that the compiled bytecode will be an
"atomic process". In fact, it probably won't.

LinkedList bullet point
Paragraph states that LinkedList is designed to give better performance when
inserting/deleting from the middle of a collection. I don't know what was the
design intention (the documentation doesn't state what it was), but
performance data shows that LinkedList performance is significantly WORSE
for inserting/deleting in the middle of a collection, e.g.:
http://onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/05/30/optimization.html?page=3
LinkedLists do give better performance for inserting at the BEGINNING (not
middle), and apparently for operations involving iteration over list elements.
Note from the Author or Editor:
The paragraph describing LinkedList should be changed to read: Makes it
easy to create structures like stacks or queues.
