PDF	Page 1 Using strings in switch statements	Old and new version of code is not logically compatible. Old version of code compares strings ignoring case. New version of code does not. Suggested change to new code: public void processTrade(Trade t) { String status = t.getStatus(); switch (status.toUpperCase()) { case NEW: newTrade(t); break; case EXECUTE: executeTrade(t); break; case PENDING: pendingTrade(t); break; default: break; } }	Jan ?hrstr?m	Jun 28, 2012
Other Digital Version	9-10 bulletpoints 2 and 3	Under bullet point 2, the variable path is set, and under bullet point 3 the variable dirToWatch is set. I can't find any reference to where else path is used, and can't see where dirToWatch came from, and additional research leads me to believe that these should be the same variable.
