Hi , Joseph Albahari and Ben Albahari

Thank for your book , C# 7.0 Pocket Reference

I read your book in safari online book , I saw a problem in this book.
It's related with Pre-decrement because you used to Post-increment for it , I think
it is a small mistake in this book .
If you'll see this error in safari online book chapter 01 you can search Post-increment in this book and you'll see Post-increment for ( -- ) in a Unary table.

I like your book and I read c# 6 (Full) before c# 7 ( Pocket ) . It is best book for learning c# .
I'll wait for your answer
thanks a lot.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct. On the table on page 50, right of --, "post-increment" should read "pre-decrement".

Note from the Author or Editor:
The last sentence in the first paragraph should read:

To download the samples, click the Samples tab in LINQPad and click “Download more samples.”

Under operator table in page 50 line 5

This could be printing mistake. It says --x is for "Post-increment". This is for pre-decrement.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct. Note that this has been reported in another errata.

last line

it says
case bool b when b == true // Fires when b is true

correct is
case bool b when b == true: // Fires when b is true

so you are missing the colon after "true".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct - there should indeed be a colon after the word 'true'.

Under "Object Member Listing"

One of the members of Object class listed is "protected override void Finalize();", however as Object itself has no base class, there's nowhere for it to override any base method. Also in docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.object.finalize Microsoft says "the Object class provides no implementation for the Finalize method", therefore I think the "override" modifier is improper here, but should be replaced with "abstract".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct. Replace override with virtual, so that that reads:

protected virtual void Finalize();

Operator Table (location 903 of 4677 on Kindle)

More like a question: Shouldn't the null-coalesing operator (??) also be includet in the operator precedence table? Reason for asking is because i + j ?? 0 is yields a different result than i + (j ?? 0) because the ??-operator has lower precedence than the add-operator.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Yes, this should be in the table, under the conditional Or. It's been added for the next edition.
