Printed	Page 172 Java example	The java Encapsulation example used from the Jaskell site http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JASKELL/Object+Orientif contains a bug. The bug is propagated/altered in the slightly revised version contained in the book (the apparent revision is that the class variable names have an underscore _ prefix). The Jaskell web site version of the java code contains this this.begin = begin; That really is the same variable being assigned since begin is not part of the SafeArray constructor signature. The book version uses _begin = begin; which is slightly more interesting in that the source variable is, instead of being the class variable assigned to itself, is now a variable "begin" which was not declared. The Eclipse IDE, for one, doesn't like either version of the code.	Anonymous
