In what way is 'Watermellon', 'Bob', 'Cherry', 'Apple' a sorted list of words? It is not alphabetical by start letter, it is not by string size either, yet it is used as an example of correct output for the last task?

I believe the example output is incorrect - it should be: Apple 22 Bob 3 Cherry 1 0 Watermelon This output passed validation for me. The words are being sorted with the String.compareTo method, which compares the strings based on the Unicode values of each of their characters. You can ctrl + left click on the methods in intelliJ to navigate to the method declaration and read more about its implementation.

Note that on the task "List of number arrays", you need to add "import java.util.Arrays;" in order for the program to compile correctly because of the existing code in the printList method.

Hey "The code won't compile".... that was a mean ';' you dropped in there.

task0919 (Dividing by zero) caveat: requirement 6 (The program should display the stack trace of the caught exception.) can only be met by calling a certain system-provided function for printing the stack trace or - maybe - by exactly imitating its output format.

i'm confuses with last task, can we compare a string and a number in string format using isGreaterThan() method?

You dont want to do that. You want to compare numbers to numbers, and strings as string.compareTo(string) because that is lexiconical (String(22) is < String(5))

At least one of these tasks requires knowledge of certain things (e.g. StringBuffer) we haven't been taught yet. What's the reason behind that?

Many tasks, especially the hard ones, will do this. You may have to google how to do something. This is encouraged. Professional programmers don't memorize everything, and they, too, have to look things up sometimes. It's a practice you should get used to.

Solved my problem - so frustrating. I was able to make the code verify by NOT passing a parameter when I made the method call.

Anybody else having trouble with verification on Task0919 - Divide by Zero. Verification messgage I get is Code runs fine in IntelliJ.
