The errors in the code will not be yours. You will learn more by throwing
everything written by Herbert Schildt into the recycling and getting some
decent books written by somebody who isn't a Dunning-Kruger case. I occasionaly

perhaps as firelighters.

Here are a couple of critiques of some of his other works which do not pull
their punches:
