Way off the Mark 
. Although I did pass the exam, it was with no help from this book, the exam questions are nothing like the reall exam, save yourself the time, use another study guide and get yourself self test software.
Regarding A reader from Lee's Summit's Review
The || op is called the conditional-or. | is both a bitwise and logical op in Java unlike in C or C++. See page 388 and 389 of the Java language spec, 2nd ed.
Factual error on the VERY FIRST PAGE!....
. You would think that a study guide would be pretty accurate, but .. WOW! I found several factual errors on the very first page of the book. The following error is on the "Cram Sheet" which is the very first page of the book (right behind the cover). The Cram Sheet says "Logical OR operators | and ||. " Well, | is not a logical operator; it is a bitwise arithmetic operator. It goes on to say in the next two sentences "The | operator always evaluates both operands. The || operator 'short-circuits' an evaluation and does not evaluate the right hand term . . . ". WOW!!!!!!!!!! Nuf said!!!!!!!!!!!!.
