section Keyboard Input, 4th paragraph, startings with "A semicolon (;)..."

The paragraph consists of four sentences. The last two replicate the first two and thus should be eliminated.

4th paragraph after Keyboard Input header

Fourth paragraph after Keyboard Input header has four sentences in which last two sentences are repeats of the first two sentences, as shown here:

A semicolon (;) allows you to put multiple statements on the same line. In the REPL, only the last statement returns its value. semicolon (;) allows you to put multiple statements on the same line. In the REPL, only the last statement returns its value.

I suggest deleting the last two sentences.

3rd paragraph

Where it says "If you run it you get ... count not defined"
The variable is called "counter" in the example and the program reports:
UndefVarError: counter not defined
and not what the book says:
UndefVarError: count not defined

Continuing, the very next code block is also wrong. The book has:
count = 0

function example3()
global counter
counter += 1
end

and that first line needs to be
counter = 0

PS: Thank you for this book.

last paragraph

Hey there!

In your introduction under "Why Julia?" in your sentence "It is the responsibility of the programmer to optimize the code that forms a bottleneck, but this can done in Julia itself."

I think, it should rather be "...but this can BE done in Julia itself".

Kind regards,
Matt
